Sampled at Bierkoning thanks to Jan. Hazy orange color with a medium sized white to off-white head. Aroma is insanely fruity / tropical fruit hoppy. Flavor had it too. Lightly malts, incredibly hoppy / tropical fruit hoppiness and moderately bitter. Medium body and decent carbonation. Absolutely delicious!

Muddy, dull, with a frothy head. So looks like it’s still fermenting. The nose...definitely green, with overripe fruits and vaguely grapefruity hops. Soft, yeasty body. Decent bitterness but also a lot of sweetness and a really full body. Quite yeasty, and the hops are generic...lupulin powder? The best examples of the style are so much brighter and more refined. What I really miss with beers like this is the fussiness, the attention to detail that’s required to really make good beer.

2017-10-01, can, 6.5% ABV, 8-3-8-5-16=40
Murky yellow-orange, a bit dull (3.5). The aroma is very fruity, apricot jam, citrus peel. Smooth mouthfeel, the dry feeling blends well with the strong zesty, citrusy hops, and the bitterness in the final is balanced, with more hop resins appearing; a bit wheaty, chalky, but not disturbing.
Excellent.

Orange color, murky, poor head retention. The fruity aroma is lovely, there is sweet orange, a touch of mango, hints of lychee and guava. The mouthfeel is quite dry, the hopping is juicy, citrusy (cedar fruit, some grapefruit, some bitter orange), with a very light vegetable note in the end. It's also a bit chalky and yeasty.
Compared to Twin Sails and Superflux, this beer is dirtier, but still an excellent hop job.

2016-08-27, draught at Callister, Vancouver; 5.8% ABV, 8-3-8-5-17=41
Murky blond color with compact head. Very nice aroma, fruity hops, strong, a bit dank. The mouthfeel is quite dry, and bold; wheaty malts, white bread, mild; the hopping is very fruity and resiny, I almost don't feel the bitterness at first; juicy, with a long bitter final.
A bit dirty (flavor) like all these East Coast beers, but it delivers plenty of hop goodness.

2016-08-26. Rating #700! On tap at Callister. Pours a clody straw golden with a white head. Aroma is very juicy with tropical fruits and piney notes, slightly skunky - very pleasant! Taste, surpisingly, not so rich as aroma, but same character, though. Piney hops aftertaste. Very good, but would perfect with more rich flavor.

Tall can (thx, Brian!) shared with George. Canned on 2017-09-07. Pours like a peach nectar. Aroma is crazy juicy with apricot and tea notes. Same nice taste. Wow, this one is incredible apricot bomb!!!

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of juicy, dank citrus hops. Flavour is big on dank citrus hops upfront, with a dry biscuity malt backbone and residual astringency. Seems like an attempt to recreate one of Machine's IPAs, but falls a bit short. Still, quite nice.
