Look: It pours orange with some clouding and an off white head. Head retention is very good.
Smell: There are citrus and stone fruit aromas. There is also some caramel with very light cherry.
Taste: It has stone fruit and orange flavors with some caramel. There is low citrus.
Feel: It has a medium body with a slight sharpness in the finish even though it's not that bitter.
Overall, the flavors work relatively well together but the finish is thrown a bit off by the sharpness.

12 oz.can 3/26/2019, poured into ipa glass
Bold golden appearance, soft pour still enables nice but small head, some lacing gets left behind
Interesting aromas of malt and hops that entices one to sample....
Tart, perfect malt base, hops, tantalizing on the palate, crisp, clean, several good things about this one!
Yetis (not coolers) and UFO's, baby! Life in 828 B great
Find, enjoy share, repeat!

12 oz can from near NC with a 12 June 2019 canning date. Revisited in August 2022.
Pours with a clear amber body that has high clarity and what would be an excellent off-white head were it not for the short life. [Excellent retention in 2022].
Aroma: poor aroma seems rather metallic, but it probably just reflects a hop mix that doesn't appeal to me.
Flavor: moderate bitterness for style with plenty of flavor that leans towards bold (think IPA).

12/27...pours medium copper, nice white head of foam. Very sticky. Pine and pepper nose. Citrus bite too. Resiny hoppy oil. Flavor malt, bitter sticks in the back. Smooth modest carbonation.
