REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured slightly hazy golden into a pint glass. White head, almost no lacing. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Largely sweet berry and citrus. 4.75/5
Taste (40%): Pleasing sweet citrus from start to finish. Low bitterness. Assertive citrus continues into the aftertaste. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with slight dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. The 3-Way IPA series hits another home run with this explosive citrus blast. Not overly bitter and full-flavored. It gets so much tougher to compare this to prior 3-Way IPA releases, but it has to be up there among the better ones to me. 4.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.675/5
