An improvement over the last edition, but still a frustrating, unfinished IPA, with a fresh, juicy burst of hop goodness on the front and next to nothing on the finish. Lemondrop, grapefruit, tangerine, and peach notes make a strong first impression, but the malts never show up, and the back end offers up slight notes of pine and bready yeast and precious little else. Pours a watery hazed gold with a brief white head and no lace. Nose offers wet malt and citrus. Undercarbonated, thin texture doesn't help. Eh.

Draft at SG 2 Year Anniversary Party. Pours a hazy, glowing gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lots of green pineapple, guava and citrus zest in the nose. Dry on the palate, with some hopburn alongside green pineapple and papaya. Dry finish with some pithy bitterness and some matcha character. Better than CR2 and CR3 imo. --- Beer merged from original tick of Chasing Rainbows Four on 10 Feb 2018 at 18:28 - Score: 8
