A Whiff to Remember (Score: 12)

Beauty that Beckons (Score: 3)
Let’s not forget the pleasing aesthetic that this beer brings to the table. With a texture that marries haze and juice, you’re presented with an appearance that is simple yet mysteriously inviting. It’s the kind of brew that catches your eye from across a room and insists on a second glance.
Assault of Flavor (Score: 19)
Now let’s get to the heart of the matter – the flavor. A potent pine component stands at the forefront, bringing forth memories of the mighty outdoors – tall trees and open skies. But that’s not all! The potent pine mingles beautifully with a strong smack of pink grapefruit juice that immediately emboldens the taste buds. This swiftly transits into a slight but remarkably effective pithy astringency. A firm bitterness lingers, refusing to be forgotten, leading to a citrusy finish with grapefruit and lemon undertones. It’s a ride that any true IPA lover will enjoy to the fullest.
Smooth Operator (Score: 5)
The mouthfeel of this beer can only be described as crisp and delectably snappy. It gives rise to a championing hop structure, sparingly laced with light fruit notes that are there merely for the suggestion rather than flaunting themselves boldly. The execution is indeed zesty, replete with tropical back-notes that meld into the background, leaving the stage for the main actors to shine.
