Don’t mind the flashes. This unique pale lager with big hop aroma and citrus kick tends to attract a lot of attention.

Got this 6-pack "Un-paralleled Mixed Pack" at the LCBO with 3 different beers. Pours a clean amber-golden colour with a big frothy warm cap, good retention and dirty lace. Was expecting a hopbomb, as their Gypsy Tears Ruby Ale I had last night, was quite hoppy for an amber ale. Nope. Mild citrus nose with hints of sweet malts. The hop is even less in the taste. Wet mouthfeel with just a tad of bitterness, bringing minimal dryness. Almost more malty than hoppy. Fruity malts with the slight citrus and caramel notes. Not bad. Just surprised how the other was not an IPA, and was quite hoppy. Pretty tame for an IPA with the name "Hoparazzi".

If hoparrazzi means a flurry of in your face hops flash, I’m not sure this is it. Pours blond with ok lacing. Finishes very clear and empty - nothing at all in taste almost. Slight floral aroma and some malt, but very light. Average carbonation. Tap at St. Augustine’s.

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with medium head. Aromas of toffee, pine, and oranges. Flavors are similar with a dose of tasted malts and a bit of grapefruit. Nicely balanced. Pretty much run of the mill PWN IPA, but quite session-able.

Draught at Tap & Barrel, Vancouver
Light amber color, small head. Mild aroma of malt, toffee and hops, very light lemons. Good toffee flavor, lean Lager feeling, with good hopping and moderate citrusy touch; very dry finish, with correct bitterness.
Pleasant.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, light citrus hops and soft bready malts. Flavour of pungent tropical fruits (berries and mango), slight hop bitterness and just enough malt to balance. Buttery soft mouthfeel. Quite good, surprisingly.
