Looks straw golden with a white lingering foamy head.Smell is not very pronounced for An IPA. Some mild pine,citrus, earthy. Tastes like a good IPA. Citrus overtones with a mild hop bite and a caramel malt finish. Feels semi crisp,finishes on the dry side with sufficient carbonation. This beer is good , but not outstanding. I would drink it again.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is straw, a bit of haze, head is off white with fine bubbles, presents 1/2 inch thick and then lingers with a solid top at least 1/4 inch thick; good lacing on the glass sides.
Smell is full of tropical fruits, but low on intensity - subtle mango, pineapple and maybe some passionfruit; very subtle malty bread component.
Taste follows the tropical fruity hops with a bit more bitterness presenting: mango, pineapple are dominant flavors but not overpowering or overdone. Moderate sweetness presents as you finish but limited malt depth, not bad just a bit thin in malty flavor.
Mouthfeel starts fairly soft to moderate then transitions to the bittering edge with some dryness.
Overall a good ipa but just bit out of balance with limited malt character to back up the tropical fruit and bitter qualities.
