Pillowy soft mouthfeel, low bitterness, bursting with tropical fruit aromas and rich notes of mangoes & melons. This beer comes in at a deliciously deceptive 8% and will sneak up on you.

Soft sweet hops on the nose, has milky yellow body with little foam. Flavour is soft hoppiness and a hint of light grain. Mouthfeel has good oiliness, modestly refreshing. The alcohol is well hidden but otherwise it's simplistic.

On tap. Pours a muddy turbid white amber with little head. Aromas of bright tropical fruit, orange juice and soapy malts. Flavors of candied grapefruit, muddled fruit, resin and toasted malts

473mL can, pours an opaque, cloudy orangey yellow with a medium white head. Nose is quite dank, with lots of pot-like hops, yeast, and biscuity malt. Flavour is dank and juicy, with lots of dank hops, tropical stone fruits, plenty of yeast, and biscuity malt. Very juicy, pithy and dank in great balance, even with a bit more yeast than I'd prefer. Another excellent hipster IPA from these guys.

Can, Legacy. Cloudy, dull yellowish with no head. Lupulin powder aroma is papaya, orange juice. Moderate, pithy bitterness, soft sweet pale malts, and a hop taste that's more on the grapefruit end of the spectrum. Good example.

Taster at P49. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is dank with some dirty and veggie notes. Similar taste, very juicy, dank, a bit dirty veggies with an odd hoppy bitterness. Classic Boombox, good.

Can from Parallel 49, Vancouver
Murky blond-orange colour with fluffy head. The aroma is super dank. The mouthfeel is very light, difficult to believe that this is 8%, the malt base is light, delicate; the hopping is quite juicy, dank, and the bitterness is relatively low, hence the final is a bit chalky.
Excellent.
