Can: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of juicy tropical flavors with some citrus hoppy undertones. Taste is also a mix of juicy citrusy flavors with some tropical hopy undertones and some residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable juicy IPA with a nice touch from the yeast strain.

(473ml can from Intermarche St Jean, Quebec City) Pours near-opaque dull gold with a thin white head and some light lace. Aroma of ripe mango, tangerine, white grape, pineapple, candied garlic, round estery fruity profile, slight peppery funky vibes. Flavour is moderately sweet and lightly tart, notes of tangerine and grapefruit, soft mango, floral grapes, melon, soft pineapple that gives those kveik-like vibes to the middle/finish, smooth yeast profile overall though; semi-dry finish with light grapefruit bitters and tropical florals over a dusty chalky minerality. Light body, average plus carbonation, creamy feel though. Not familiar with Hydra so I'm learning as I go, but there's certain roundness to the profile. Quality brewing as you expect from Boreale.
