This ipa poured a cloudy, orange/yellow with a creamy white head. Nice lacing. Scents include tea, pineapple and citrus. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of pineapple, grass, citrus and cream. Finish is all fruit and lightly bitter.

650ml bottle from the lcbo. Slightly hazy orange pour, with a big rocky white head. huge floral hop aroma, loads of tropical fruit, mangoes especially and some honeysuckle. Soft citrus and some light pine resin. Perfect mouthfeel and carb, and the finish is lightly bitter, not as bitter as expected. Super drinkable, and very floral. A great ipa.

Tall can (thanks, Taylor S.!). Pours a hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma is quite weak with some tropical fruits notes. Taste is a bit malty with some fruitiness. Quite good.

Bottle: Poured an amber/orangey color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of nice citrusy/grapefruit floral notes with no bitter notes are discernible. Taste is a great mix between juicy notes of grapefruit and citrus and great floral undertones, light residual sugar notes that balanced the whole mix. Body is full enough with great carbonation. Greta beer and this brewery just keeps on improving.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy orange gold with a small off white head. Nose has tons of citrus with grapefruit dominant along with some peach, mango, passion fruit, a healthy dose of pine and a definite catty undertone. This is all about the big bitter hops but there is sufficient lightly sweet toffee to take the edge off. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. Mmmmmmmmm.

Pours a slight hazy golden-orange colour with a frothy mildly off-white cap that stays a while and creates creamy lace. Very active tornado carbonation. Fresh fruity nose with some grapefruit and light sweetness. Hints of fruity-sugary yeast. Again, lots of fruit notes in the taste with tropical ones and piney hints. This is just a great easy-drinking IPA without the crazy bitterness, but with loads of fruits.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light lemon notes, and beautiful catty and floral hops, citrus, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with tropical fruits, papaya, citrus, very nice and complex. On tap at Arrow and Loon.
