San Diego, California - Amber/Red Ale - 6.8% ABV - This dank red ale poured a deep mahogany color with an off-white head that dissipates slowly. The nose features a big hoppy front with aromas of grapefruit, resinous pine, and mango, while having a sweet malty back end. The mouth was great; it was much hoppier than I expected, while having a blast of pineapple, pine, mango, and grapefruit flavors. Blazing World has a medium-light mouth feel, with a clean and crisp finish that'll quench any thirst. I was very impressed with what Modern Times did with this Amber - in my opinion, it's their best canned release yet. Cheers! 8.8/10

The Levitation Ale is an easy drinker that goes well with some burgers on a hot summer day. I recommend it to those who don't like much of a bite, for it is a very subtle and balanced brew.
