REVIEW:

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

Smell (25%): POG tropical aroma (passion fruit, orange, guava) with wheat and oaty malts. 4/5

Taste (40%): More wheat-oaty malt with some POG flavors to start. Orange citrus then blossoms on the aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Very good job by Sunriver here to replicate the POG flavor. Bonus points for the citrus aftertaste. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.2/5
