Can.
Huge head.... Had a hard time pouring it.
Nice floral hops, some subtle herbs, and tropical fruit. some rose water notes linger in the finish with a sharp hop bitterness. Lightly yeasty, and fruity, with some nice citrus.

47,3 cl bottle @ Timo A
Aroma has tropical fruits, woody notes, minerals mild urinal cake and cereal. Flavour has cereal, grassy hops, minerals, some fruits and hints of cereal. Also mint. Not sure what to think of this but at least this is refreshing and easy-going. Perhaps a bit one-dimensional though.

Can 473ml (Beer Republic)
Slightly hazy yellow color, small steady white head. A bit resiny, tropical fruity and white peppery aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour is similar to aroma: fruity, slightly resiny, some citrus, spicey. Lingering spicey hoppyness in the aftertaste. OK Belgian IPA.

473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, deep golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Perfumed, floral-soapy, fruity and minimally funky yeasty aroma, sweet-ish, biscuity malty background, notes of (?) petals, hints of chamomile, an underlying touch of apricot. Taste is floral, slightly grassy and resinous hoppy, hints of pine, spruce, lavender, a touch of chamomile, slightly sweet and biscuity, pale malty basis, fruity hints of unripe peach, and nectarine, citrusy overtones, minimally soapy interludes; super soft and smooth palate, the water used seems to be of fantastic quality.

Opaque gold with a soapy beige head and a candyish wheat aroma. Soft bodied with a bitter metallic and spicy sweet cotton candy flavor with mild belgian esters. Ok. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy pale yellow with a generous long lasting white head. Nose is dominant citrus hops with a moderate yeast in the background. Notes of spice and banana. Lots of bitterness in the flavour with light spice, but also a disturbing burnt metal that fades as it warms. Medium mouth with average carbonation.

Part of their 2015 summer 4-pack called "A miracle of science" (version 1.0). Pours a hazy light-yellow colour with a big foamy-soapy head that stays a while and leaves foamy lacing. Fruity aromas (tropical, bananas) with Belgian Ale yeast, spices, citrus and light hops. These are more present in the taste creating a nice bitterness the whole time and giving grassy notes in the finish. Lots of citrus with the yeast balancing things underneath. Medium-bodied with very active carbonation. A nice Belgian-style Pale Ale.
