REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden-light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head, good to excellent lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical with trace floral/earthy notes and oaty-wheat malts. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Mix of tropical, slight resin, and malt. Towards the back end, mostly pulpy citrus peel and gooseberry blend with a soft, yet sturdy malt backbone. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. For once, I couldn't find this Revision beer at Belmont Station, so I went elsewhere to get it. Big fan of the citrus experience here. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.263/5
