Elysian Super Fuzz

My husband really enjoyed the Elysian The Immortal IPA that I brought home a couple months back, so I thought I'd surprise him with their Super Fuzz.  The label says it's made with blood oranges, and I thought that sounded interesting:


Vittles:
American Pale Ale
5.4%
made with blood oranges

Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 36/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 4/5
Drinkability: 7/10
Overall: 84/100

Impression:
It's a citrusy punch in the nose/mouth.  I was expecting it to taste orangey, but there's also a significant grapefruit aroma/flavor, as well, and about a minute after I tasted it, grapefruit flavors just took over my mouth.  There was more of a sharp acidity than I had expected, but it wasn't an unpleasant aspect.  Overall, it's very tasty, has a good level of hop bitterness, and keeps your tastebuds on alert.  I like the floral and resinous notes in the background and the hints of tropical fruits like guava.  Very tasty!

Cheers!
