REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White head, trace lacing. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Citrus/berry mixed with slight malt. 4.25/5
Taste (40%): More of a berry/citrus blend with slight pine/dank initially. More citrus comes in on the second wave. Citrus peel aftertaste. Flavorful. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Slight dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. The citrus kept me coming back for more. I'm also a fan of the can, as New Mexico is synonymous with turquoise colors. Makes me miss New Mexico; I fell in love with the area on my 2016 trip and I've wanted to go back since. Perhaps soon.... 4.25/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.35/5
