What's on the Can/Website: "Creating a flavor of awesomeness, this West Coast IPA hopped exclusively with the one and only Citra hop is built for enjoyment.

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White head, trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical grapefruit, passion fruit, and tangerine, with complementing malt and hop notes. 4/5

Taste (40%): Clean, pleasing tropical from start to finish. A bit diluted on flavor, but still tasty and refreshing. Not much on the aftertaste other than the remnants of tropical and hops. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. To me, a clean, straightforward IPA that celebrates the Citra hop properly. Given the abundance of memorable brews that I've had, there's not a ton here that breaks it into that upper echelon. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.038/5
