Big orange juice and nectarine cream flavor with an awesome nose of citrus and fruity pebbles that fades to a smooth refreshing bitterness.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange golden pour, frothy, stiff head leaves rings of lacing. Aroma is citrusy, favoring grapefruit slightly. Taste is orange juice with grapefruit peel, juicy, light zesty flavors. It was gone before I knew it!

16oz canned 11-18-24, opened 12-22-24.
2 finger white head with limited retention. Dull orange-gold opaque body.
Tropical fruit (mango nectar led) and a hint of gritty malt.
Lots of fruit - my sensors say mango and other tropical flavors. Pretty tasty brew.
Full body and bright/electric mouthfeel. A little lingering sweetness in the finish but nothing overboard.
I like the flavor here better than the aroma, something about the grittiness I percieve always turns me off. Fortunately, this one tastes real good.
Very Good.

16oz undated can.
Pours cloudy yellow with two inches of dense white. Plenty of spongy lacing and persistent retention. Grapefruit, tangerine, and unripe peach in the nose. Medium bodied with a somewhat watery mouthfeel. Peach and orange on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Finishes fairly juicy with lingering citrus.

Canning Date: "unknown".
A - Medium to dark golden orange color that's opaque and with thin white lacing.
S - Dank citrus orange, tangerine, and nectarine on the nose.
T - Alot of juicy, pulpy citrus from start to finish with nectarine, tangerine, orange, and some light spicy/peppery citrus rind buried down below. Ends on the sweeter side and the 8.1% is completely hidden in this beer - impressive.
M - Thick, frothy, and lines the mouth with a thick coating of citrus that creates a cotton-like sensation.
O - Another good D-IPA from the folks at Kettlehead. Recommended. (But I wish they date stamped their cans.)
Thank you SawDog505 for this can!!

This one from Kettlehead is Goooood. Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned 12/14/2020. Pours a very attractive yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.75
Smell is tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, ripe melon, and apricot. 4.5
Taste follows very juicy, tangerine, pineapple, cantaloupe, and apricot simple but really tasty. 4.75
Mouthfeel is above medium, not sticky or dry, soft gentle creamy carbonation, and at 8.1% crazy drinkable. 4.75
Overall this may possibly be the tastiest version yet of this classic. For me this one has serious wow factor. 4.75
