Aug 22, 2024 (=): Poured from 473mL can (6% abv; brewer says this release has a different yeast strain and hop ratio, but not necessarily different enough for a new RB entry). Murky yellow with white head. Citrus hops, dry and pithy, touch of chalk, okay. June 24, 2021 (8/3/8/3/16=3.8): Poured from the tap (listed as 7% ABV). Cloudy gold with white head. Dank citrus hops with a fair bit of pith. Pretty good.

Smells softly of vegetable hops and nothing else. Has a clear yellow body with very little white head on top. Flavour is murky subtle hops of no distinction. Mouthfeel is full enough with some crispness. This is boring, to be generous.

Can: Poured a pale cloudy yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy and piney hops notes with nice floral undertones. Taste is a nice mix of piney and citrusy floral undertones notes with hints of residual sugar, some residual yeast notes with light dry bitterness. Body is full with good carbonation. Enjoyable but lacking some balance.

Super cloudy and very pale. Looks like it’s still fermenting. Aroma is really yeasty and green, with abundant fruity dry-hopping. It’s quite yeasty...with a touch of fruity hop. But it’s yeasty as all hell.

2019-07-11, draught at Darby's Gastown, 7% ABV, 8-3-8-4-17=40
Cloudy to murky blond colour with small creamy head. Strong citrus peel character, some hop resins, good body, enough bitterness, and I sense a bit of residual sugar too. A lot of character.
Excellent batch.
2017-09-23, can, 7-3-5-2-11=28
Murky yellow-orange color, small head, disappears quickly. Aroma of orange peel and yeast. It's moderately juicy, mostly orange and orange peel; it also has too much yeast, it's astringent, and in the final it has pithy bitterness.
Very chaotic and dirty.
2017-08-29, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 8-2-5-1-11= 27
Murky orange-blond color, small head. The aroma is very fruity, peachy, with some sweat. The mouthfeel is chewy, chalky, very yeasty, leading to strong vegetable bitterness and final astringency.
Very dirty beer, not pleasant.
2016-11-02, draught at Callister, Vancouver, 7-3-7-4-15=36
Cloudy pale blond color. Nice aroma of fruity hops, stone fruits, lightly dank. Lean mouthfeel, light residual sweetness, the malts are a bit bready, less crisp than other Boombox pale beers, but the hopping is well done, with both bitterness and soft resins, hop oils, orange peel, and some astringency in the final, probably the oats.
Very good.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank, with lots of dank hops, pine, and a light toasted biscuity malt. Flavour follows with a hugely dank character on the hops, with considerable pith, and a dry biscuity malt base. Wonderfully constructed with the right balance of everything. Excellent.

Update - much like the original but a better flavour. Good upgrade. Draft - Tropical fruits and citrus notes. Cloudy orange gold with a small white head. Citrus and peel with some nice pith. Not as good as the nose, but still good.
