REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Very frothy white head, good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical citrus peel. Detecting the creaminess even on the nose. Complementing hop experience. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Mostly tropical citrus and citrus peel throughout, engulfs the mouth. Some hop bite towards the end. Full tropical aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent Pale Ale. Lovely tropical experience here, smooth and easy drinking. Oakshire delivers another delicious beer. Proper science. 4.25/5
