Where distributed: Fort George generally distributes just in the Pacific Northwest.
Smell (25%): Juicy tropical citrus and stone fruit, with complementing oaty malt. 4.75/5
Taste (40%): Juicy blend of earthy and tropical citrus/stone fruit. Slowly, the citrus presence builds. Assertive citrus aftertaste. Very slight octane, bit doesn't take away from the experience. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy. Felt this left more of a dry tongue than prior versions. 4/5
Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. Did I mention this was a juicy brew? The 2021-22 version again brought the citrus punch I enjoy, but seemingly magnified a bit. I enjoyed this version more than prior years' releases. 4.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.663/5
