On tap at GLB, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops and light biscuity malt to back. Flavour reveals a complex piney hop character, a touch of citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Forcefully hopped and yet balanced very well. Excellent.

A light golden body topped by a solid white head. The nose pops with fresh citrus and grapefruit with a faint hint of sweet malt. A solid bitterness leads the taste profile with elements of pine, resin, grapefruit, grapefruit rind and lemon. The sweet bready malt is there but is subdued. A soapy taste builds as the taste lingers. A lively medium-plus carbonation and medium body and density help appreciation of the taste. A nice addition to the tank 10 series.

Cab from the lcbo. Pours a nice yellow with a big white head. Aroma. Of tropical fruit, some pine resin and alot of catty cat pee. Good mouth feel, solid carb. The finish is got a big cat pee flavour with some light citrus zest and a strong citrus pith bitterness. I’m assuming there is a huge over abundance of centennial hops, reminds me alot of the dogfish head 60 minute ipa and it’s signature cat pee profile.

473ml can. Pours a hazy pale gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, soapy lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, pineapple, mango, orange peel, grapefruit, earthy yeast and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, caramel, pineapple, mango, orange, grapefruit rind, earthy yeast, grass and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced and tasty.

Can donated by netty, many thanks. Hazy yellow orange color with thick white head. Clear hoppy aroma with resin, zest, citruses. Taste, solid malty base followed by mild citrus hoppy bitterness with zest, resin. Short light hoppy finis. Good, could be more intense tough.

Can. Looks a bit murky, actually. Thick head, but a rather dull pale beige sort of colour. So not all that attractive. The aroma has a little bit of weediness, but not that fresh. Low bitterness. I can tell this was better when it was fresher.
