This hazy IPA is anything but expected. There’s some something new to be discovered around every corner: bold citrus aromas and flavours lead to a lingering, juicy finish.

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.

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.

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.
