You’ve just stumbled upon a beer so rich in hazy content that it had to be downloaded from the Cloud. Like a river of juiciness flowing from the heavens, this year-round hazy IPA is packed with dazzling notes of red currant, passionfruit, and mango. It’s full body and creamy mouthfeel are followed by a smooth, drinkable finish. Cheers!

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy blond colour. Mild arom aof oranges. Lean mouthfeel, very little residual sweetness, weird malt bae, skunky, some orange peel, but the hops as well don't come across very nicely, light manure, and very light acidity in the finish.
Weird and not very good.

Can. Hazy and opaque. Just a thin head. The hops on the nose are quite fruity, basically a stone fruit and pineapple thing. Decent pale malt base. Fairly low bitterness on this one.

Can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has citrus and light mango with a bit of papaya and some light lemongrass backing. Flavor has dank citrus and papaya with sweet grains and a hint of rind.

On tap at AleSmith, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is gently fruity, with light dank hops, subtle stone fruits and biscuity malt. Flavour is earthy and floral in the hop department, with gentle pine and crisp biscuity malt. A bit chalky but not too bad. Solid.

473ml, canned 13 March. 9C. Hazy gold with a fluffy white head that fades to a cm but never disappears. 3+ Aroma of peach, mango, pink grapefruit peel. A little bit creamy textured but highish carbonation works against it. Fruity with that vague chewed cracker malt side of things these tend to have before grass clipping astringency chops into the fruit at the end. OK but not entirely convincing.

Hazy, dirty medium orange-brown body, medium off-white head. Nose of citrus pulp and peel with piny and toasty elements. The flavor profile was mostly tropical fruit, especially passionfruit, and citrus/citrus rind, with pine and toasty malts as a backdrop. Some of the juiciness was already faded approximately 70 days from canning. Sharply carbonated with a pronounced bite that detracted from the juiciness. Solid IPA, but nothing stood out.
