355ml can in my hotel room, Seattle on Friday 15th August 2025. A gift from one of the brewers at Phillips. Hazed light golden body, citrus bite with a piney undertone; not too sure it explodes with flavours though. Pleasant enough but a little watery when it mattered.

A little on the old side, and underwhelming perhaps as a result. Pours hazy yellow with decent head and lacing. Light bitter end. Some pineapple. Can.
A can delivered my way by fate. Pours appropriately cloudy blonde, with thick head that sticks around. Taste is... muted. I was expecting alot more of a hop hit. I get some resin, a little soap, over a bready, fairly dence malt, with a little lingering tangerine and a touch of bitterness on the finish. That is all well and good, but it's just underwhelming.

355ml can. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, tangerine, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, mango and grassy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, orange and light oats in a dry, mild bitter, piney hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy medium amber with a two finger lingering white head that leaves spotty lace. Nose is lemon peel, grass, light bread, apricot, pear and minerals. Light sweet honey with a medium- citrus and grass bitterness. Medium- mouth with average carbonation and a lightly better metallic finish. 7/4-/7-/3/13

This hazy Pale Ale pours a hazy golden-yellow colour with a big creamy, warm cap, great retention and nice creamy-bubbly lacing. Hoppy nose with some grass, some malty sweetness, honey notes and hints of cereal grains. The mouthfeel is wet with just a little dryness in the finish. Flavours represent well the APA style with just enough bitterness from the hops over the mild malts. Refreshing, lightly juicy, hazy Pale Ale that does the job.

341mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma reveals bright floral hops, with some citrus zest, and biscuity malt. Flavour is balanced, with citrus hops, some floral notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Nothing overly interesting, but the balance is good, and there is even a decent hop bite. Better than expected.

Hazy yellow body and modest foam, strong hops on the nose with chili con carne hints. Flavour is sweet hops witb vegetal hints. No malt to be seen for miles, it was washed away maybe. A little weak on the mouth. Passionfruit does show but only if you're told about it. Adequate.
