Can, Legacy. Opaque sedimentation on this one. Lots of pineapple, maybe sweet orange. Light body, maybe oaty, again with a pulpy fresh pineapple taste. Bit yeasty but otherwise clean, with a nice pale malt signature. Moderate bitterness. Drinkable.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky blond colour. Fruity aroma, citrus peel and a touch of tropical. Light body, the mouthfeel slightly chalky, the bitterness level is bold, with strong character of bitter citrus.
The beer I needed in this moment. Competing with stronger IPAs. I don't recognize Nelson Sauvin anymore… Very good.

Milky yellow body and a bit of foam. Big wet hops on the nose. Flavour is spicy peach and hops. Kind of thin on the mouth. No malt to be seen in the vicinity. Okay but very wet.

Tall can at Brian's. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is very fresh tropical fruits. Taste is similar with noticeable fruity bitterness. Good one.

Citrus and pithy notes. Cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nice bright citrus with a juicy orange finish. Solid.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some weedy notes, yeast, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a nice dank, herbal hop character, yeast, and biscuity malt. Yeasty, dank and lightly bitter. Not bad.
