What's on the Can: "India Pale Ale with Amarillo, Azacca, and Ekuanot hops. This is a collaboration with our amigos from Invasive Species Brewing."
Hops: Amarillo, Azacca, Ekuanot.
Where distributed: Tripping Animals Brewing likely has limited distribution. I have no clue how my friend (who lives in the Pacific NW) got a hold of this.
Smell (25%): Balanced citrus with pilsner-like malt notes. 4.25/5
Taste (40%): A bit dank and slight octane initially, then a citrus peel wave that hangs around into the aftertaste. Complementing malt also around into the aftertaste. Flavorful. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. Florida is eventually on my bucket list of places to get to when the pandemic officially ends. Breweries like Tripping Animals and Invasive Species are why I would travel for good beer. Scanning Tripping Animals' taplist, they remind me a lot of Great Notion in Portland, embracing mostly IPAs and sours (but they also have other styles available). 4.5/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.413/5

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered, lots of sediment at the bottom of the can which may turn the beer slightly lighter orange (and hazier). Frothy white head, good lacing. 4.5/5Smell (25%): Balanced citrus with pilsner-like malt notes. 4.25/5
