As our flagship beer, this one’s all about the hops. We’ve jam packed enough citrus into this brew to keep those skeeters at bay. Multiple hop additions bring out aromas of tropical fruits that are balanced by a medium amount of bitterness and a crisp easy-drinking finish. A definite must-have in the North.

Can from CCC July 2024 box. Hazy medium amber with a large frothy off white head that fades slowly and produces stringy lace. Nose is caramel and bread with some grass and muted citrus. medium- malt sweetness with a big grass bitterness with just a hint of the promised citrus. Mouth is medium+ and creamy with average carbonation and a big bitter finish. 7/4/7-/3+/14

Can. Thank you, Ryan! Hazy, pale amber. No head. A bit chewy, lots of malt, there's a decent hop bitterness, though not as much aromatics. Still, it hits and I'd drink a pint.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Emily). Hazy gold with small white head. Fair bit of bitterness, mild caramel malt, resinous hops, better than expected. First NWT tick!

New territory tick, courtesy of pictoman (thanks, Ryan!). 473mL can, pours a somewhat hazy bright orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of resinous hops, caramel, and bready malt. Flavour is dry and bitter, with big, bitter resinous hops, bready malt, and toasted caramel. Quite malty, but also very, very bitter. Plenty of room for improvement, but really not that bad.
