16oz can served in a big snifter. Can is not dated as far as I can tell. Got it from @Roguer in a LIF associated with NBS BIF #17.

Pours hazy pale yellow-orange with a big, dense, white head. Moderate amount of carbonation. First impression on the aroma was orange julius, that is displaced quickly by a more resinous and grapefruit-rind oriented aroma. Those are the dominant themes I Get.

Taste is toward the citrus pith / rind portion of the spectrum, bitterness builds fairly slowly but steadily. Creamy orange juliusness lurks around in the background but is still detectable. Moderate amount of a honey / floral sweetness.

Mouthfeel is somewhat on the thick side, but with enough effervescence that the overall feeling is kind of light. Overall, good solid beer that I could drink all day (at a reasonable pace).

Quite a bit of haze; nearly opaque.

Really lush and juicy nose; quite aromatic. Tangerine, melon, mango, and papaya.

Delivers on the palate, simultaneously juicy and clean. Cold IPAs are often compared to IPLs, and I see the similarity here, for sure. Tasting notes match the nose; low expressed bitterness. Absolutely zero astringency; this is like drinking a crisp, clean, and incredibly drinkable NE IPA.
