Hazy golden-orange colour with a big, soapy-bubbly warm off-white cap that stays quite a while, leaving some foamy-soapy lacing. Coconut aromas over citrus notes, and some grassy hops that comes out eventually. The citrus is present in the taste with the coconut blending in second place. The mouthfeel is not as thick as a NEIPA, but an NEPA at 5.7% ABV is not too bad. Quite a refreshing New England Pale Ale with the citrus, but balanced with coconut notes.

(473ml can from Intermarche St Roch, Quebec City) Pours near-opaque pale orange with a decent but stable eggshell head and lace. Aroma of ripe mango and canned peach, soft but clear coconut, overtones of orange peel. Flavour is quite light overall, crispy crackery sort of malt with soft notes of grapefruit and citrus peels, grassy hops, dried flowers, very soft coconut that shows up as a creamy note in the finish, light bitterness but some astringency. Light bodied, soft slightly creamy carbonation. Very light PA in terms of flavours and not a ton of coconut. Refreshing, fine enough but nothing particularly special. Not on the level of Boreale's better hops.

Oxford tasting, Sergey's hunt; can
Cloudy blond colour, dull. The aroma is nice, delicate fruit, light glue. The mouthfeel is weak and very dry, paper, chalk, some vegetable feeling, dry fruit; astringent finish.
Nothing wrong here, just I don't think that the "cloudy Pale Ale" concept is interesting.

Tall can (thx, Alex M.!) shared with Jamey at Alex's. Packaged on 2018-09-13. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits. Taste is very fruity with slight bitterness. Nice one.

Can: Poured a cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a nice large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of hoppy floral undertones with some citrusy notes with some light coconut notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of hoppy floral undertones with some well-balanced coconut notes with some residual sugar notes also noticeable. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Enjoyable APA with well-balanced coconut notes which can be somewhat tricky.
