Taking it easy out on the back deck.... temps are mid-60s, with a crowler of this filled on 04JAN21....

Poured into a Smutty sniftah, it's a hazy, murky medium golden color. Has a healthy, fluffy, rocky off-white head, lasting nicely, with A-1 lacing. Has a solid citrusy nose, with tangerine, mango and apricot. It's light on the prickle and fairly smooth. with a medium to medium-plus body.

Taste has some light, crackery malts lending a smidge of sweetness to the mix. The citrus blend is solid, with some mango and apricot present along with some subtle rindy, resinous bitterness. Like Sawdog, I also get a hint of lime in the dryish finish. Prosit!!

Gratitude to SawDog505 for gifting me with one of these cans. This is a can I'm going to save because I love the nostalgic artwork!

A - Opaque dark golden orange color with thick, dense lacing.

S - Citrus, apricot, and soft tangerine.

T - Citrus & tangerine with just enough underlying pine bitterness to balance things out.

M - Thick, chewy, and frothy that leaves a coating of citrus in the mouth long after the sip.

O - The overall result is a defined, soft tasting and well brewed D-IPA. Recommended.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 1/11/2021. Pours a very hazy yellow with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves gobs of lace with excellent retention. 4.75

Aroma orange starburst, cantaloupe, mango, a hint of lime, and passionfruit. 4.5

Taste starts with a shot of orange starburst, cantaloupe, mango, passionfruit, and a little lime in the finish. 4.5

Mouthfeel is bigger than medium, soft creamy carbonation, not dry but slightly sticky, and at 8% ABV it goes down really easy. 4.5

Overall I am enjoying this one a lot. Another excellent NEDIPA from Kettlehead Brewing. 4.5
