REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered, lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. White head, good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Resinous/dank with tropical citrus and pineapple. Complementing milk sugars produce a sweeter hint on the nose. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Fresh hop/dank to start, then assertive wave of tropical citrus orange and pineapple. Milk sugar adds a bit more sweetness. Everything blends well. Aftertaste is mainly citrus orange. Very refreshing.. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. Nope, I did not forget about Fresh Hop season, although I bought significantly fewer fresh hop beers this year. Sasquatch released this gem that wonderfully highlighted that fresh hop experience and a lovely citrus finish. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.5/5
