Bright, fruity, mango and passionfruit. Fairly low bitterness. Malt is pale, soft, with a pleasant balancing sweetness.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, orange peel, peach, honeydew, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, orange, grapefruit peel, peach, pineapple, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and enjoyable.

Hazy gold, small white head. Somewhat dry zesty nose. Weak fore, light trpical, uncoordinated bitterness doesn't mesh.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Pale blond colour, cloudy. Mild zesty aroma, possibly some wheat; dry and lean mouthfeel, the dryness is appropriated, but the body is too weak; there's a bit of oats, yeast, the bitterness seems to be a bit pithy, and the hop doesn't offer much quality.
It's a bitter wheat ale, hardly an IPA, far from being juicy like the self declared style would suggest, although not a bad beer per se.

Soft sweet hop aroma, middling yellow body and a hint of foam. Flavour is sweet chewy hops, lots of sugar and oil. Full enough on the mouth. Rather disjointed but somehow drinkable.

On tap at Vancouver Island, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma reveals gently dank hops upfront, with biscuity malt and some chalky yeast. Flavour actually has some clarity, with dank hops, dry biscuity malt and just a touch of yeast. Moderate-to-aggressive bitterness on the finish. Not bad at all.

Taster at the brewery with Farees and Brian during Zwanze Day. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is a bit dirty, sweet, fruity and malty. Similar taste. Quite good for a fresh hopped.

Can - Tropical fruit and some pith. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Creamy and pithy with some bread and a bitter finish.
