Hopped heavily with Mosaic, Citra, Strata and Sabro. Presents a light straw color with a sunny, warm glow. The aroma is explosive with bold tropical and citrus hops. Think mango, pineapple, fuzzy peach, passion fruit and finishing with a pine essence. Easy to drink, smooth and well balanced.

Can from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Cloudy dark yellow-light brown with ring of head, light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit--generally as described. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, light bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. The tropical fruit nuances are less pronounced than the citrus/grapefruit but still quite good.

16 oz can thank you Tom for the share. Aroma is passion fruit-ish, pineapple-ish, light malt. The flavor follows with maybe a trace of Sabro. Texture is very juice and the Proto typical zero bitterness for the style. Nice!

Park Street Pub and Tavern draught 8/10/24. Heavily hazy, bright flaxen-golden-maize. Small, dense, white head. Brightly-juicy nose with citrus and tropical fruits, rich, honey-like malts. Clean, without resin or pine or alcohol. Malty and rich with juicy, well-expressed hops showing round citrus and flavorful tropical fruits. Really comforting malts here, on the richer, maybe more moderately sweet side. But the fresh hops are juicy, amply bitter and balancing. Beer is clean and incredibly flavorful and well-done. Kettlehead just always seems to get better and better (and is always much better on draught).

Taste is moderately bitter, tropical and citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet, minimally sugary, pale malty, minimally crystal malty basis, minimally diluted notes of mandarine, orange, lemon, hints of mango.
