REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Pours hazy peach-orange colored into a tulip glass. Unfiltered. Very frothy white head, trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus passion fruit and stone fruit mango with complementing oaty malts. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Starts with a blend of tropical (passion fruit and mango) and oaty malts. Melon more noticeable on the back end. Finishes with a second wave of tropical in the aftertaste. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. Lovely tropical and creamy oaty malt presence throughout, and which has a good tropical finishing kick. Another obvious President Trump reference. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
