16oz Brian's shared with Ryan and Phill.
Aroma: tropical fruits, candied oranges.
Taste: along the same lines, finishes with some hoppy bitterness.
Overall: a bit old school, but it's decent.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy blonde gold with small white head. Subdued juicy tropical hops, seems a bit aged (no can date), inoffensive, average.

Not very sour, subtle tartness, tropical fruit, sweet, a touch cloying. Nothing special.

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy medium amber with a lingering one finger cream coloured cap. Nose is tropical fruit and citrus over a cereal and grass background. Light fruity sweetness with a medium- grassy bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation. 7/4/7/3/14

Pours a clean golden-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly warm cap, good retention and some creamy-foamy lacing. Lots of tropical fruits in the nose blended with grassy hops in the back. Gets hazy as it pours, and that head is quite beautiful. Easy going down with enough dryness to refresh the palate. Milder in the taste, especially for 6% ABV, but still has that nice balance of hops and fruitiness (citrus zest more than tropical in here). A nice first for me from this brewery, so pumped to try the rest.

(473ml can from a friend) Pours rather murky pumpkin orange with a frothy eggshell head. Notes of rather soft citrus peels and orange juice, vague tropical fruit overtones, a somewhat bready semisweet brioche and caramel malt base that shows some grain through, citrus pith, grass, dried flowers and malt into the off-dry finish, low to moderate bitterness. Medium-plus body with smooth creamy carbonation. A bit old school in some ways, maltier than a NEIPA would be and with a muted hop profile. Decent drinker.

A hazed blonde ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, nice fruity malt with floral hops, light mineral notes, light citrus, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light mineral notes, light grapefruit, nice and smooth. On tap at brewery.

0,473 ml can purchased directly at the brewery. Pours our murky golden with a big white frothy head. Grape and mid hopy with straw on the nose. Taste starts with a mid hopy bitterness, sequence of orange. Malty backbone, present hopy, also in the aftertaste. Nice one.
