12 ounce bottle. Pours a very cloudy orange color with large flakes of particulates, a large white head. A big fresh mango tropical nose. Very rich, huge tropical notes, mango, peaches, oranges, light biscuit malt base. Pretty darn good. Not a fan of the particulates though.

330 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of candied tropical fruit, sweet bready malts, and light grapefruit/pine. Flavors of muddled fruits - tropical and jammy stoned fruits - mangos and sweetened grapefruit, all on a nice plump bready malt base.Full and really nicely balanced for an IPA. Got to agree, this is one of BC’s best IPA iterations

Bottle. Very cloudy. Bubbly head. The nose has some papaya and citrusy notes. Nice bitterness, touch of sweetness, grapefruit and papaya. Quite good - refreshing and flavourful.

2022-04-03, a Clearly can, 7-3-8-3-16=37
Not chalky, but with some oat creaminess; juicy hops, there's enough quality, and with more bitterness than the average Hazy, hence more balanced.
Very good.
2019-04-02, draught at the brewery, 7-3-7-3-13=33
Cloudy to murky, blond, with compact head. Moderately dank, very light juicy hops, a bit chalky; bit of chicory bitterness too. Ok for Steamworks, but not as impressive as the early batches.
2017-01-17, 7-3-8-4-16=38
Murky, thicker than I remembered, but not very chalky, and with very juicy hops.
2016-11-16, draught at the brewery, 2nd batch, 8-3-7-4-16=38
Murky orange color, persistent head. It has the same good orange juicy hops of the first batch, but the final seems more muddy, floury, dirty, dusty.

2016-10-02, draught at the brewery taproom, 12oz, 9-4-7-4-16=40
Murky blond-orange color with generous head. Wonderful aroma of resiny hops; lean body, nice crackery malts flavor, plenty of piney and citrusy hop resins, with a very bitter final. I like juicier ones, but also as is it's excellent.

Bottle - Lots of fruity mango and mandarin. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Lots of great tropical fruit and a huge amount of mandarin. This is a remarkable IPA that has me wondering how they have been doing until this point?

On tap at Steamworks, pours an opaque cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is extremely juicy, with tons of tropical fruits and dank hops. Flavour bursts of dank hoppy goodness, with loads of dank piney and resinous hops upfront, followed by tropical stone fruits and dry biscuity malt backbone. They absolutely nailed this. Juicy, dank and expressive. The best that Steamworks has done.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma is piney and tropical fruits notes. Taste is juicy, citrusy, with piney bitterness. Same character aftertaste. Good one.
