A full range of fruity hop elements - grapefruit, pineapple, melon and mango among them. The Belgian candi syrup makes for a slightly sweet and sticky IPA, but the hops are strong enough to balance it.

Can at the crown and beaver in North Bay Ontario. Pours a hazy orange with a medium off white head. Aroma is very tropical fruit forward. Strong notes of sweet citrus oils, mango and papaya. Mouth feel is solid, carb is medium. Finish is what I would say medium on the bitterness scale, with a floral citrus / tropical finish. Quite nice, a pleasant surprise.

This Bruin poured a cloudy medium amber with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include malt, grass/floral hops and maybe some cooked veggies? First swig was smooth and a little bitter. Flavours of grass, tea and a little bread. Finish is smooth with a nice hop level and a light tea flavour lingering.

Can in Toronto, 9th July 18. Pours an amber beer. Aroma is citrus. Taste is bitter citrus, more or a classic west coast IPA. Not bad.

A lightly hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy resinous hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light herbaceous character, light mineral notes, light treacle, OK. On tap at Ottawa Beer Fest 2018.

Pours a hazed golden-orange colour with a smaller warm head, mid-stay and some light lacing. Aromas of citrus with lots of oranges at first, but then some diacetyl action comes along. Could be just a boost of caramel malt in the back, but feels buttery as well. I will let this slide as the taste is quite good and not showing the butterscotch notes. Just nicely juicy, kind of New England style IPA. Not too bitter, but well-dried. Pretty good overall.

Can from the LCBO. Slightly hazy pale amber under a small short lived white head. Nose is tropical fruit, lime, caramel, light green apple, some pineapple. Flavour follows with a light caramel sweetness and a medium tropical fruit bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with a average carbonation and a tart fruit finish. 8/3/7+/4/15
