REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured slightly hazy golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. Very frothy white head, good lacing. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical passion fruit, pine, lemon, and stone fruit with complementing oaty malt. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; tons of tropical from start to finish. Predominantly a citrus aftertaste with any pine complementing. Extremely refreshing. No octane, awesome given it's 8.5%. 5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Extremely juicy with some dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class Double IPA. No surprise here, just another delicious hazy brew from the masters at Revision Brewing. Tropical IPA lovers will want this one. Even after all the Revision beers I've had, this certainly is among the best of that bunch. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.825/5
