Can from the LCBO on my Ontario Northern trip 2018. Pours a golden colour with lots of transparent particles floating around. Big frothy warm cap, nice stay and lots of foamy-creamy lacing. Grainy cereal aromas with caramel notes and the hops giving a nice herbal cilantro feel. Less of the sour notes in the taste from coriander leaves, but some nice bitterness and dryness in the finish. Nothing too crazy, but a well-done green leaf hop IPA.

Amsterdam Brewery Space Invader IPA 6% A glowing copper color with a good 1cm inch of beige head and a rich citrus aroma. The beer has a nice medium body with a balanced woodsy citrus flavor, pretty good bitterness as well as decent malt sweetness. Solid stuff and a cut above what I expect from Amsterdam Brewery. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from the LCBO. Lightly hazy medium amber under a two finger off white head that dissipates quickly to a sheet leaving tight lace. Nose is tropical fruit, apricot, pineapple and some lime. Light sweet malt supporting a medium+ tropical fruit bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with active carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. Noce. 8/4/7+/3+/16

Draft - Light sweet grapefruit, tropical fruits. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Light grapefruit and lots of fruity sweetness. Nice beer, but a bit on the sweet side.

(On tap at Bryden’s, Jan 31 2014) Pours a hazy pale orange with a frothy white head, lacy. Aroma a big punch of fruity, green hops - mango, citrus (esp. orange), slightly resinous but more mango "pine" than an evergreen forest. Light malt sweetness takes a back seat. Flavour also quite hop-forward, lemon, slightly under-ripe mango up front, more citrus rind and flesh joins the tropical fruitiness in the middle, a bit resinous on the finish. Pretty intense hop oils, seemingly chewy moderate bitterness but light and smooth on the palate. Lightly sweet biscuit malt but just supports the hops. Dry, clean, moderately bitter finish lingers on. Fairly light carbonation. Really like the hop profile and intensity here, still super-drinkable. Delicious.

A blonde ipa with a thick frothy white head. In aroma, loads of piney resinous hops with light catnip and citrusy hops, biscuit malt, hop oil, very nice. In mouth, a surprisingly balanced ipa with biscuit malt, floral hops, resinous, citrus pulp, catty notes, well done. On tap at brewery.

Tastes very peachy like someone mentioned here. Finishes very bitter. Well done pale ale. Soft carbonation. Well-rounded and balanced. Not a lot of malt, mostly a hop-heavy pale ale. On tap at brewpub.
