What's on the Can/Website: "Pop a top off a can of hops, the waft of aromatic intensity is inevitable. Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops deliver sticky, resiny, sweet citrusy hop flavor. Our hazy, hoppy beer that's taken up a notch. Set 'em up my friends!"

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head, some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Predominantly resinous dank hoppy. 4/5

Taste (40%): Starts with slight octane and assertive malt, then sweet citrus and mango come through. Aftertaste continues with the sweet sticky tropical notes. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Sticky, yet juicy qualities and some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent Triple IPA. It's only dank on the nose, but fortunately the citrus comes through on taste. It's not the easiest drinking beer, but it has good tropical presence for 10.5%. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.138/5
