Can pour from The Beer Store, Nashua. It's an opaque, juicy yellow-orange with finger-width off-white head with decent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is super strong version of an all-citra double NEIPA--orangey citrus/tropical fruit abounds. Taste is strong as aroma. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with creamy texture, soft carbonation, no hint of alcohol and finish as taste. Overall, a lot of 100% Citra IPA's have been done. Good complexity, super strong aroma and flavor. Really nice!
gave a cheers!

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie. It's an opaque, gold-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and soapy rings of lacing. Aroma is citrus. Perhaps with light berries as it warms. Taste is strong citrus and berries, hint of pineapple with late bread backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, pleasant alcohol warmth, soft carbonation and mostly bready finish as taste. Overall, taste is stronger and more varied than aroma but some of the advertised elements are either not present or are a bit weak. Not one of Kettlehead's finest.

Not overly sweet, smooth, basic, needs an adjunct or something.
