REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange to burnt orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Very frothy white head, trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Mainly a blend of citrus and floral. 4/5

Taste (40%): Multiple waves of flavor. Starts more citrus, papaya, and berry. Also detecting guava. Floral phase comes in for a tad. Mostly fruity aftertaste. Drinks very easy for 7.4%. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy. Also a pulpy mouthfeel. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. I coulda sworn that I had reviewed Second Profession beers before, but I guess I was wrong. I'm a fan of Space Flamingo. It hits more fruity on the flavor than the aroma. and it's very dangerous when I can easily start tanking this 7.4% brew. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.363/5
