4.49/5  rDev 0%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Arrives a cloudy goldenstraw with a one finger head; spotty lacing

Smell: The paw paw aroma is distinct and there are melon tones as well; the Citra and Mosaic impart tropical fruit and berries into the mix

Taste: Papaya, kiwi and berry flavors emerge, with the melon and paw paw elements building; moderate pithy bitterness, through the middle; the paw paw and melon flavors return to linger into the finish though there is a distinct bitterness in the back of the throat

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: IPAs are moving in a lot of directions these days but Fonta Flora is taking a detour from the milkshake and citrus juice trends to push the envelope; this is terrific
