Pretty solid beer and true to name. Very well balanced. Super smooth creamy body. Nice hop showcase. C’est what toronto

Cloudy blond colour, large head, nice lace. Nice fruity aroma, intense, a bit dank, can feel the Nelson Sauvin. This is a creamy/chewy champion, it's loaded with oats, that unfortunately tends to be astringent in the finish; there is some sweetness, nice hop juice, but also some hop burn in the finish.
Not bad, loaded with good hops, but it has the classic flaws of many Hazies.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy yellow with white head. Mild Nelson Sauv gas fumes, tropical and citrus hops, oats. Decent.

Opaque, pale. Bright melon, soft malt, light bitterness. Seems well put-together, and there's a hint of stone fruit in those hops as they cross the palate with a touch of alcohol.

Hazy golden-beige colour with an orange hue, a big frothy warm head, very good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Aromas of oranges with a touch of tropical fruits and a biscuit malt base. Some of the tropical notes come out a little more in the taste as the oranges take a back stance. Mild resin in the finish, but calms down quickly. A light creamy mouthfeel with a decent dry finish, balanced with the juiciness lingering. A pretty good-looking, creamy, oaty IPA that is smooth all-around.

Can: Poured a cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy juicy hops notes with some nice mango hoppy undertones. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy notes with some juicy hops notes and hoppy undertones with some residual sugar notes also perceptible. Body is full with good carbonation. Solid NEIPA with great citrus flavors.

(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, July 25/21) Pours near opaque dull deep gold with a thick white head and lace. Notes of candied grapefruit and orange peels, mixed tropicals, moderately bready malt, light pine and citrus oil resinous bitterness, moderately sweet up front for style but drying nicely with a grippy finish, soft yeasty estery roundness for balance though. Medium-bodied, oily to creamy, fairly softly carbonated. Solid NEIPA-type thing and nice to enjoy on tap.

A hazed yellow ipa with a thick frothy lacing collapsing yellowish off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with loads of resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light dank notes, very nice and smooth. On tap at brewery.
