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

Smell (25%): Tropical stone fruit and citrus, with slight resinous or dank notes. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Blend of slight resin and tropical to start. Malted wheat and flaked oats come in next. Mix of hop tropical and oats through the aftertaste. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent IPA. Very good blend of tropical, malts, oats, and resin. Any octane was about what I expected for 7.2%. Would totally drink again. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.113/5
