REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange-golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head, trace lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Soft, peaceful tropical grape and berry. Complementing creamy malt and oaty notes. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): White grape and lychee come through first, with soft malt and some hoppy notes. Getting some grapefruit and blueberry towards the aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Another lovely seasonal summer release from Modern Times, fruity flavors some through as promised. Malt body and hoppy flavors complement well to reinforce a mostly juicy IPA experience. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.325/5
