Nice enough for a summers day, but a little too subtle for my tastes. hints of citrus hops, sweet malt and not much more.

Can from the brewery. Cleat copper pour, small white head. Nice pale malts, and some light caramels, with some grassy hops. Solid mouth feel, good carb. The finish is clean and crisp, with some good cereals.

An extremely fruity nose of tropical fruits and citrus with notes of mango, grapefruit and lemon. The malted base seems quite present giving notes of biscuit. The liquid is medium gold, a little cloudy with a rocky head that holds moderately. To taste is rather fruity with tropical notes and lemon dominating. The bitterness is present but light and with hints of conifers. A good, fruity and gentle session. Un nez extrêmement fruité de fruits tropicaux et agrumes relevant des notes de mangue, de pamplemousse et de citron. La base maltée semble assez présente et donner des notes de biscuit. Le liquide est d’un doré moyen, un peu trouble, avec une mousse rocailleuse qui se maintient moyennement. Au gout c’est plutôt fruité avec les notes tropicales et le citron qui dominent. L’amertume est présente mais légère et présentant des notes de conifères. Une bonne session fruitée et tout en douceur.

A hazed blonde ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light citrusy floral hops, faint tropical fruits, pleasant. In mouth, a nice fruity malt with light resinous hops, light mineral notes, light dank notes, pleasant. On tap at brewery.

Can from the LCBO labelled as 4.8%ABV and 42 IBU. Lighly hazed pale amber with a large fluffy off white head that fades slowly and leaves some patchy lace. Nose is light tropical fruit, light biscuit, light grass and some strong mineral notes. Light+ honey and fruit sweetness with a light+ lemon peel and pineapple bitterness. Mouth is thin with average carbonation and a dry finish. Definitely in session territory. 6/3+/6/3/12+

Can: Poured a pale amber color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with some retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry citrusy hops notes with some bitterness easily discernible. Taste is also dominated by light citrusy hops with some discernible bitterness and light caramelized malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not memorable and not a beer I will seek again.

Can showing 4.8% ABV, not 5.5% anymore and the IBU, 42 and not 56. Looks like they might be going session with this one. Pours a hazy golden colour with a frothy slight off-white cap, decent lasting with some foamy lace. Smells juicy with the citrus notes and light grass. The taste is also juicy with some blending of the grains. Well, it looks like they did a good job converting this one into a Session IPA, as it is much better than all of the older reviews. Good job!

Tasting at Matt’s; can
Light amber color. Aroma and flavor are a bit grainy; the mouthfeel is rather dry; enough bitterness, but without hop quality.

500mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some light herbal hops and a bit of vegetal notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with barely a hop character in the way of herbal, vegetal notes, and dry biscuity malt. Well, it's not as bad as the Hopside, but that's not saying much.
