473ml can. (8.0% ABV) Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Dank aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit, orange, tropical fruit and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, biscuit, orange peel, tangerine, lime, tropical fruit, lupulin powder, oats and light alcohol in a dry, bitter pine finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not exactly legendary, but still pretty good.

From a 16 oz can shared on a Keefer Lake snow cat after a powder day. Poured a greenish gold with an off white head. Aromas of citrus and grass. Flavors are moderately bitter citrus. Tasty.

Can, Legacy. Cloudy, pale, with a thin head. Very spicy, with a somewhat yeasty aroma. Yeasty on the palate, with rich bitterness but a bit of that lupulin powder taste. Malts are a bit thin on this one. The bitterness is nice but I would like more hop brightness here.

Poured from the tap. Hazy yellow with white head. Lots of dank hops, some citrus, bready malt undertones, hint of funk. Not bad, but probably wouldn’t have more than one. Sits a bit heavy for what it is.

2018-09-15. Taster at Alibi with Sonnet after CFE. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is very dirty with meat notes. Come on, Boombox, for how long you will do this?! Taste is quite similar with grass and alcohol notes. Nah, this is not good. Maybe it will be better after some time, but definitely not now. 6-4-7-3-13=33 2018-10-06. Tall can from The Gull LRS. No meat and grass in aroma finally. Some slight boozy notes in aroma with fruity notes. Same taste. Much better. 7-4-7-4-15=37

Draft - Little Dank, little weedy and some nice citrus. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Touch of peel and grass with a nice long finish. Solid.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops upfront, with some citrus and floral notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with dank hops, some citrus and floral notes, and biscuity malt. Nice hop profile here and not too yeasty. Good stuff.

2018-09-30, draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver; 300ml, 7-4-7-4-15=37
It's just hazy, not at all murky as it was. It's somehow dank, and moderately citrusy and piney, but it seems to have faded a lot in just 3 weeks on tap. Very good beer.

Usual cloudy to murky appearance, blond. The hop aroma is strong and dank, hint of white bread. Sweet and strong body, definitively stronger than many NE IIPA had in the last year; it has the usual unobtrusive light malt base; a bit flat on the carbonation; powerful hopping, juicy and resiny, but lending to some pithy bitterness in the finish. Drinking a full glass of it, it's a bit cloying.
Considering the sweetness and the pithy bitterness, it's a good beer but a bit shy of being great.
