I picked up a 4-pack of 16oz cans from the brewpub on 04JUN20 ($20). Had a couple yesterday out in The 'Zebo after some yahd work.
Appearance follows the same script as the 3 previous NEIPAs I've had: Poured a turbid, muted medium golden color. Had a creamy off-white head, which lasted well, along with excellent lace. Nose had solid citrus, with grapefruit and pineapple being dominant, along with a smidge of resiny action. Body was medium to medium-plus, with a smooth, creamy feel.
Tasted of more semi-sweet citrus, with pineapple, grapefruit and lemon-peel. Also was lightly pithy and rindy. Went down quite well! Prosit!!

Poured into a 16 oz Kettlehead Brewing can shaped pint glass. Pours a very hazy orange with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace, with excellent retention. 4.75
Smell guava, pineapple, ripe melon, mandarin, passionfruit, apricot, and a hint of grapefruit rind. 4.75
Taste follows bigger and bolder guava, cantaloupe, mandarin orange, passionfruit, apricot, blueberry, and just a hint of grapefruit. 4.75
Mouthfeel is big, sticky not dry, gentle carbonation, and at 9.5% loaded with flavor but goes down dangerously easy. 5
Overall another great and bold NEDIPA from @Kettlehead Brewing. 4.75
