From a 16 oz. can sampled on November 14, 2020.
The appearance is a cloudy, foggy, mostly opaque orange-amber tone with a lacing-leaving cream colored head lingering up top.
Big tropical fruit or more precisely melon aroma with a lower profile bready malt sensation. For 11%, I do not get any alcohol on the nose and that's a good thing.
The mouthfeel is light to medium but smooth.
The alcohol finds its way into the taste but not until you enjoy the immediate sweetness and the biting, bitter, tropical finish. Drink slowly.

Stopped into Kettlehead today for some Election Day stress-relief. That manifested itself in a 13oz pour of this fine libation, at $9.00.
A small sniftah held a muted but rich, golden colored offering. Had scant carbo but a nice, creamy, off-white layer of foam holding things down up top. It held shortly at 1/4" before ebbing, with nice lacing in the glass. Nose had semi-sweet fruit - apricot, melon, peach and some pineapple. Body was medium/medium-plus, with a pleasant, smooth feel on the tongue.
Flavor was also of the semi-sweet variety. Had tangerine and pineapple, with minimal bitterness. That sweetness lingered nicely, with some grapefruit and apricot rounding things out. Superbly drinkable, even at 11.0% ABV!! Prosit!!

Many thanks to SawDog505 for this can.
A - Opaque dark orange pour with dense white lacing.
S - Spicy fruit aroma: apricot, melon, and strawberry.
T - Honeydew, melon, strawberry, apricot, nectarine, peach, passion fruit from start to finish ending with a moderate bitterness intertwined with sweet peppery tropical fruit rind.
M - Thick and slick with a slight bit of alcohol effervescence and dry on the back of the tongue.
O - This beer packs a ton of flavor into a can with very low alcohol detection. Pretty impressive at 11%. Recommended.

So my 1,800 beer and it is a monster. Just picked it up as fresh as it gets. Pours a gorgeous hazy orange yellow, with a solid finger of sticky white head that leaves a thin film around the entire glass before slowly settling. 5
Smell is apricot, papaya, guava, pineapple, mandarin orange, and healthy dose of grapefruit rind, wowza! 5
Taste follows really exceptional a tropical fruit bomb, that just dazzled your palate before you get a sharp hit of grapefruit in slightly bitter but balanced finish. 5
Mouthfeel is big, moderate amount of carbonation, soft on the tongue and the entire palate gets a thick film that covers your entire palate, and a NETIPA at 11% ABV I need to slow down, but it is so darn tasty it makes it near impossible. 5
Overall you all know how much I love this place and this may be the best thus far and a perfect score is difficult but I wouldn’t change a thing. A masterpiece. 5
