Can. Color: Very hazy orange, frothy white head. Aroma: Hoppy, resinous, orange and some tropical fruit. Taste: Resinous hop, fruity notes of orange and mango. Hints of rubber. Over moderate bitterness going to medium bitterness at the long lasting nice dry-ish hoppy finish. Smooth malty backbone. Just over medium body, average carbonation. Nice.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 12/01/20, 3 months old; no ABV on the can
Murky blond colour. The aroma is less defined than other TG beers tasted tonight, there's a bit of dank character, some citrus peel. Even if the ABV should be stronger than the others (7.2% vs 5.5%), the mouthfeel is the same, it's rather dry, and on the weak side; it's fairly chalky; this character highlights the vegetable bitterness rather than the noble qualities of the hops.
Decent, overpriced.

1 pint can. Pours a turbid yellow with full head. Aromas of papaya, passion fruit, pithy citrus and wheat malts. Flavours follow same with a big wallop of lupulin powder.

Tall can from Sai Liquor at home. Hazy peach orange pour with puffy white head - looks good. Aroma is melon, citrus peel, dank mango. Nice. Taste is similar. Rich fruity dankness - citrus juice, cantaloupe, pith. Juicy palate with fine fuzzy carbonation. Very well done hazy IPA, I’m sure even better fresher.

Backlog. Pours very hazy, citrus heavy aroma. The flavor is fruity, juicy, and sweet. Think tropical fruit and lots of malt. Okay but for me it’s too sweet even for the style. I wonder if mine was a bit old and hops faded.

Hazy, a bit dull. Decent head. Aroma is mostly litterboxy citra, maybe some stone fruit if I’m really looking for something. Medium body and bitterness. If on the nose it was all citra, the palate brings more of the antipodean notes like white tea and gooseberry, along with some mosaic tangerine. Malts are clean, just enough to provide a showcase for the hops. Solid.

16oz (thx for bringing, Alex!) @ home shared with Alex. Appearance: nice murky pale golden with a white head. Aroma: very fresh, fruity, but dry. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: ok.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy, lightly dirty, gold with a monstrous frothy white head. Aroma is earthy/veg/herb. With lurking green onion. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is green onion (sort of), citrus, earth, mixed melon, white berries. It's really complex. It's dry and bitter enough for me - which is pretty bitter. Off the beaten track of sicky/juicy/fruity/sweety NEIPAs. But here that's a good thing. Too late, but I'd love to have this with an onion/garlic pizza.
