4.04/5  rDev -1.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (20% clarity) light and pale yellow color with a moderate white head. SRM of 5. (4.00)

Aroma: Strong aromas of ripe pineapple, tropical banana and coconut. Some sweet cantaloupe, orange and lemon to support. (4.25)

Flavor: Strong flavors of overripe pineapple, coconut, banana. Sweet cantaloupe, orange, and lemon follow. Overripe pineapple and cantaloupe linger. Some green pine and honeydew. Sweet on the finish. (4.00)

Feel: Medium-body, strong carbonation. A piney green bite off the end with some hop burn. (3.75)

Compared to BlackStack News To Me 9/2023: Pours lighter, hazier, milder aromas. More overripe pineapple, coconut, orange sweetness. Less white grape, pear, grapefruit, pine bitterness. Sweeter and more meaty. Winner: News To Me

Overall: A decent addition to their 755. Has some basic 755 flavors plus an overripe pineapple, coconut, sweet cantaloupe with some light green and dank notes. A nice addition but some hop burn and gets a little meaty is the only downside. (Rating: 4.04)

A - Very pale orange, milky haze, with a bright white head that fades to a circular patterned cap. Small bubble lacing, not extensive but present.

S - Soft nose of lemon and grass, stone fruit, a bit of sourness, and a rangy hop funkiness beneath. Strangely, from this disparate set of notes, the result is inviting.

T - Open of tangerine citrus, followed by a cracker malt element, broadening fruit elements introducing peach and soft tropicality, pineapple predominantly, and a close of mildly pithy bitterness.

M - Tart on the tongue, with decent carbonation, a bit of a scrubbing feel, light without being absent, and a dry, clean finish.

O - It is a rock solid IPA to start, and the hop variations offer interesting alternate elements - I like it, a lot.
