(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours rather hazy deep gold with a thick white head and heavy lace. Aroma is nice mixed citrus melange, some peach and pineapple, herbal and grassy, a little dank edge to it, bready malt. Flavour is citrus and pineapple up front, bready/doughy malt, zesty and a little juicy, but the citrus peel bitterness really takes over from the middle on, rather astringent, a little doughy/powdery, not really green but just too grippy (Riwaka?) with a bit of a dry palate-killing vibe in the finish and aftertaste. Medium-plus body, fairly creamy carbonation, but that finish... Wished this had a little more balance, it wasn't a crazy fresh can (~2mo) but that didn't seem to be the sole reason why.

Pale blond colour, murky. Moderately dank aroma. Very little sweetness, some starch and cream of oats, strong hops, juicy, mildly dank. Excellent.

Murky pale yellow colour. Nice hop aroma, fruity and a bit dank. Mild sweetness, some starch, some astringency, and bitter orange; quite juicy, but also not a clean Hazy. Good overall.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with a big warm-white, frothy head, very long retention and loads of cloud-like creamy lacing. Fruity, grassy aromas with the citrus, hints of pineapple sweetness, tropical notes and herbal hoppiness. The fruitiness continues in the taste with the tropical fruits, citrus zest and a slight hoppy sharp finish. A pretty good, quite juicy, fruity double IPA that is not too dry, and overall well-balanced.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy pale yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of huge citrusy hoppy notes with some huge floral hops undertones and some dry tropical notes. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy citrus hops notes and juicy floral undertones with a remarkably dry tropical finish. Body is full with good carbonation. Interesting double NEIPA with some dry NZ type hops.
