Many thanks to Sawdog505 for sending this can!

A - Opaque dark golden tan color with dense, soapy white lacing.

S - Apricot and peach are dominant on the nose.

T - Taste follows the nose (go figure, right?). Apricot and peach are the dominant flavors with some tropical fruit and a slight bitter ending with grapefruit showing up. There's also some nice peppery, spicy fruit rind surfacing on the backside that coats the mouth.

M - Big medium body that's pretty dry on the tongue. The mouth gets a healthy coating of spicy apricot and peach.

O - Another stand up IPA from Kettlehead.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 3/11/2021. Pours a hazy orange with a 2 finger sticky off white head that leaves thick streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.5

Aroma mango, peach, mandarin, apricot, and grapefruit rind. 4.25

Taste follows mango, peach, mandarin, apricot, and a little grapefruit bitterness, but really well balanced. 4.25

Mouthfeel is above average, not dry or sticky, soft creamy carbonation, and at 7.8% it goes down really easy. 4.5

Overall this is a really nice NEDIPA from my favorite local brewery. 4.25
