My beeradvocate review.
4.19/5 rDev 0%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Pale straw, brilliant clarity. Noticeably effervescent. Towering pale white head. Spotty lace. Tropical nose offers notes of mango, passionfruit, and white grapefruit. Hints at honey. The aroma is somewhat restrained when first poured. but really opens up with time in the glass. White grapefruit up front followed by mango and gentle pineapple mid-palate. Juicy. Finishes with grapefruit zest and bitter pith. Dry and moderately bitter. Medium bodied and finely carbonated. Smooth and slick. Great texture. Flavourful and refreshing, substantial but not heavy. Side Launch went a little bit outside of their wheelhouse with this one, and knocked it out of the park. This is rock solid.
Reviewed from a pre-filled growler in a tulip glass.
