On tap at the brewery. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Gentle citrus on the nose. Flavour has pulpy orange juice, very yeasty, unpleasant finish. Not very good.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Some light bread malt, light pine and earth hops. Meh.

Slight haze, pale colour. On the nose, not too bad, with a bit of fruitiness. Light, pale, limited bitterness. Vague fruitiness but something isn't hitting.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out earthy and piney hops, and some old cardboardy notes (despite this being fresh). Flavour has a strange hop character, with herbal hops, some cardboard, and bready malt. That's not a pleasant hop expression. Weak and amateur. Not good.

Can from Liberty Wine on Cambie. Good bleach white foam on cloudy deep yellow body, nice stormy carbonation. Smells of soft chewy tangerine, honeydew melon, slight lemon zest. Taste is sweet pine, soft honey grain notes. Finishes full and reasonably dry. Decent IPA.
