REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange-golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered, lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head, virtually no lacing. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Dank tropical stone fruit, with complementing malty notes. 4.25/5
Taste (40%): Dank and malt-forward, with slight octane. Then a tropical wave comes in that runs through the aftertaste. Malt rejoins the tropical a few seconds in. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Full-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy and pulpy with slight dry tongue. Much more full-bodied than expected. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Interesting that the can says this is brewed in Connecticut but American Solera is in Oklahoma, perhaps a third party was involved? Positive first experience here that touches all the notes from dank to juicy tropical. If you want a juicy Double IPA on the stronger side, this one is for you. 4.25/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.25/5
