I had a pint of this on tap at the brewpub while visiting Hartford Christmas 2018. It tastes juicy, but it was light like a pale ale. My youngest daughter had the Naught Nurse IPA and at 6.8% abv it is definitely more flavorful and would earn a higher rating.
I also tried the red Naughty Nurse and it was more malty than I like, though it was balanced by some hop.

Great beer at a reasonable price. I usually don't like anything from City Steam, but this is my new go-to (for now).

1 Pint can with a ripped off Star Wars font. About a month old.
A: Pours a hazed grapefruit juice yellow. One finger of fluffy white head. Pretty good retention with little lacing.
S: Citrus. Lemon and such. A little sweet. Not strong but the aroma is nice.
T/M: Taste is identical to the aroma. Slight bitterness. Creamy but with a good amount of carbonation. Makes for a nice mouthfeel. Pretty good balance. The aftertaste is a bit fruity.
O: A good beer from a brewery that usually makes poor beers.
Cheers!

16 oz can into tulip. No date.
Look is nice hazy golden yellow. Nose is light citrus and orange. Taste follows nose with little grapefruit bite at end. Feel is medium and creamy. Overall a nice IPA and would drink again but not seek out.
