From a can and I don't expect much since I'm anti IPA, just doing a tick, letting you know up front. Pop the lid and you get a slight nose of something citrus, could be orange, maybe ripe grapefruit, not sure. First taste is a little less viscous than I thought it would be, but it still is lightly mouthcoating. Lots of alky in this and it is apparent on the palate. So hop bitter and so rude ass rude. Totally far away from what an enjoyable beer should be. Eastwardly rude but yet avoids any astringent bite. Such a bad ass bastard. Strong, makes me want to call 988, and be down and aggressive HAH! At first, I feel happy and less inhibited, but after several drinks I'll probably: slur your words. There, you have the wokeness. Yea, a big fat one can brew to help the dopamine. In the finish this stuff does what its set out to do; get you a buzz no matter how rude the hoppy is.

Another free tick at family cookout. Lots of orange tangerine all around. Some plastic and pinesol. Southern Tier isn’t usually to my liking and this continues that trend.

On tap at Southern Tier - Cleveland, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of orange peel and grapefruit, with citrus hops and some sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is quite citric, with lots of sweet orange and grapefruit, citrus hops, and sweet biscuity malt. Very grapefruity and fairly sweet. I'm not appreciating how the grapefruit and orange helps this. Okay, but doesn't work great IMO.

A: stale orange juice, oxidized grapefruit, wine gums.
T: sweet ripe orange, jelly, sugar and yeast.
F: harsh grapefruity bitter, some piney hops, yeast and warming vodka-like alcohol.

Pretty bad brew.

12 ounce can from Niemuth’s, 9/17/22. Hazy orange, thin off-white head, average retention. Aroma of sweet orange, pale malt. Kinda like a creamsicle. Taste is orange, pine, pale malt. Hint of booze. Juicy, mild bitterness, one-note. Decent.

Cans sent by Southern Tier for my comment. A big nose of orange and grapefruit as soon as I pop the tab. There's a big foamy head over a rather bright orange to gold beer, with very little haze. The bitterness in the taste is rather bright, rather than the dank of other hazies. The taste bears a definitely citrusy note that's more like a tangerine life saver. Then some grapefruit juice does come up the side just a little bit later. The orange and tangerine impressions wind up on top of the taste profile and stay with me till the end.
