Our first canned double IPA, this beer is packed with Mosaic and Galaxy. A silky soft tropical fruit bomb that is easily crushable even at 8%. Cheers!

Tall can from Legacy. Pours a cloudy dirty blonde with a white head. Aroma is dank and juicy with pineapple and some malty notes. There are some fresh like toothpaste notes as well. Taste is similar, a bit dirty. Piney bitterness aftertaste. Quite good stuff. Reminds me some Foam Brewers beers.

On tap. Pours a cloudy tawny color with moderate head. Aromas of orange juice and wheaty malts. Flavors follow same with additional grapefruit and spice. Interesting.

473mL can, pours a cloudy murky blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dank and yeasty, with lots of dank, earthy hops, and pithy notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with dank, earthy hops, with a pleasant yeast content. Yeasty, but not too dirty. Wonderfully constructed. An excellent hipster IIPA.

Cloudy. No head. This has a generic lupulin powder aroma, bit of danky, bit of orange. Has a decent moderate bitterness. with a big weedy, orangey note.

2023-04-06, can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 8-4-8-4-17=41
Dark blond colour, hazy (not as cloudy/murky as it was with the first release). Nice aroma, ripe fruits, candied fruit, light dank hops. Good body, the sweetness is medium and not cloying; juicy malts base; the hops are partially juicy, there's grapes, pineapple, caramelized pineapple, sweet orange; the bitterness is medium to low, but overall it's quite balanced; warming alcohol, no excess.
Very good, and balanced; not explosive.
The world has changed in 5 years, maybe the bar is higher, but also maybe this beer is fairly different.
2018-03-21, can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver, 9-4-9-4-18=44
Murky yellow-orange color with generous head. The aroma of fresh hop cones jumps at you from the can; piney and dank, wonderful. Semi-dry, with delicate malt base, and an explosion of dank and piney hops; mix of citrus fruits; moderate bitterness; the final shows some oat chewiness too, but this beer is not dirty.
I don’t get the promised tropical, but this beer is wonderful.
