REVIEW:

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

Smell (25%): Resinous tropical with sweet notes. Getting mostly a mango and papaya vibe. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Resinous from start to finish. Tropical complements well. When colder, the resin tends to overpower, but as the beer warms, the tropical becomes more a co-star.  4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. I'm a fan of just about any resinous IPA, and add this one to the list. Full of flavor for a 6% beer, and I would definitely get this again. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.475/5
