Good solid hoppy aroma and flavour, not too piney but very citrusy. Nice mouthfeel though could use more oiliness. Medium orangey yellow body, could use more foam. Otherwise not bad at all.

473mL can, pours an opaque cloudy peachy orange with a medium white head. Nose brings out fermented out honey, piney hops, some light yeast, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy, piney hops, fermented out honey, straw, and biscuity malt. A bit yeasty and muddy, but it's held up pretty damn well. Good stuff.

Very cloudy. No head. With a light papaya note, lots of alcohol, and a thick malt that doesn't go far. It ends up being a bit messy.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber with light head. Aromas of creamy oranges and wet malts. Flavors of pithy but fruity oranges and biscuity malts.

Tall can (thx, Alex!). Canned on 2018-04-17. Pours a cloudy dirty golden with a white head. Aroma is a bit sweet woth lots of tropical fruits. Similar taste with some booziness and dirty notes. A bit bready. Quite good.

2020-02-23, can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 8-3-7-2-15=35
2 years later, new batch. Cloudy but not murky orange-blond colour with medium head. Good aroma, sweet orange peel and very light dank touch. Moderately sweet, good malt base, the sweet orange character from the hop dominates, but unfortunately there is some chicory bitterness in the finish.
I'm not impressed.
2018-04-28, draught at the brewery, 8.3% ABV, 8-3-7-4-15=37
Murky orange-blond colour with no head. Very nice aroma, fruity, juicy. Strong body, quite some sweetness, very juicy hops, relatively low bitterness, a bit dank.
Good but may be cloying too.
2018-04-17, draught at Bells & Whistles, Vancouver; 16oz; 8.1% ABV, 8-3-7-2-15=35
Murky blond-orange color. Strong aroma of orange juice, then some tropical mix, light pineapple and banana, excellent; light blue cheese note, I like it, it will fade though. Good body strength, sweetish, with delicate malt base, a bit chalky, strong mango and orange juice, but also the beer seems quite green, and the finish is pungent, a bit harsh; honey? Maybe.
Waiting to drink it in few weeks, it will be better.
