Can from the lcbo. Hazy Copper pour, with a large white, sticky head. Aroma is very resinous, lots of pine with subtle brown sugar and a little soapy hop. Mouth feel is very full, carb is spot on. The finish is medium bitter, close to high, with loads of strong pine resins. This is a brute of an IPA, very piney and malty. Subtle sweet malts, and soapy resinous hops.

A golden DIPA with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, a nice grainy biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light mineral notes, cereal character, OK. On tap at brewery.

Can from the LCBO. Murky orange amber under a small lingering frothy white head that leaves some tight lace. Nose is pine, citrus, caramel and toast. Lightly sweet caramel and bread with a medium+ pine and citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium with decent carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. Drinkable. 7/5/7/3+/14

Hazed golden-amber colour with a frothy warm cap, real good retention and some foamy lacing. Citrus nose with some grapefruit, but maybe a bit more oranges from the hops. Hints of caramel malts. A nice bitterness builds up. Zest from the citrus, but not extreme dryness. Goes down nicely and pretty refreshing all-around. Fresh hops overall making this a very good IIPA.

500mL can, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, citrus, some earth and biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice spicy, earthy and piney hop character, with just enough crisp biscuity malt. Sharply bitter astringency on the finish, a little too much so. But overall, nicely constructed and quite drinkable. Good stuff.
