Big thanks to SawDog505 for this can!
A - Hazy medium dark orange gold color with dense creamy white lacing.
S - Peach, apricot, tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus on the nose.
T - Peach, apricot, pineapple, earthy citrus, mango, passion fruit, and finishes balanced with just the right amount of piney bitterness to balance out the sweetness. There is a little bit of boozy effervescence that permeates up through the sinuses. There's a little bit of peach and orange lingering on the palate after the sip.
M - Big body that's thick and finishes dry on the back of the tongue.
O - This beer is definitely big but the booziness is getting in the way of the overall flavor. Low personality in terms of aroma and flavor.

From a pint can with no date marking.
Pours into my tulip glass a fully opaque amber with a tight cream colored head. Abundant fluffy lace.
Scent is sweet oranges, pineapple, tropical fruit
Taste follows the nose. Tropical fruit. Pineapples, guava, mango passionfruit. Melon - cantaloupe. Summer stone fruit - peach. Nicely building bitterness in the finish. Just a hint of alcohol warming in the finish. This is 10% ABV after all.
Mouth is full but slightly chalky.
Other than the touch of warming in the throat the high alcohol is hidden well. Another tasty brew from Kettlehead.

From a 16 fl. oz. can sampled on May 27, 2021.
The look is a milky, hazy orange tone underneath a soft, modest cream colored head.
Pineapple is the first sensation that I get on my nose. Then I get mango, tropical fruits, and an untoasted biscuit.
Medium-full mouthfeel.
Sweet taste at first quickly usurped by the pineapple and other tropical fruit characters of the nose. But there is also this kind of moderate herbal bite at the end. Delightful.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned 5/6/2021. Pours a hazy yellow orange, with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves a thick ring of lace with excellent retention. 4.25
Aroma is mango, peach, mandarin, ripe melon, and apricot. 4.5
Taste follows mango, peach, mandarin, cantaloupe, and apricot really well balanced and only slightly sweet for a triple. 4.5
Mouthfeel is big, soft gentle almost creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 10% very easy drinking. 4.75
Overall this is a really nice collaboration with two excellent breweries Kettlehead Brewing and Upper Pass Beer Co. Well done. 4.5
