473mL can, pours a somewhat hazy dull golden with a medium white head. Aroma is very inviting, with a bouquet of tropical fruits, resinous hops, piney notes, and some melon. Flavour is on the sweet side, with lots of candied tropical fruits, resinous hop oils, light pine, and sticky caramel. Finishes on notes of alcohol, white grape, melon, and sticky resins. Doesn't have the powerful hop character that some other iterations have, but it's juicy and vibrant nonetheless. Excellent.

Can from Jak's Parkcrest, Burnaby
Hazy blond colour. Delicate aroma, white grapes, lightly dank; the flavour is stronger, with some juicy pale malt, lean body, very little residual sweetness; good hopping, some citrus peel, some tropical fruit, balanced bitterness, and some evident alcohol.
Not bright or powerful like some others in the series, but it's still a very good one.

Can, from the brewery. Dullish haze, as is the style of the times. Thin head. Aroma has a touch of tropical hops, light lychee, mellow pomelo, and starts veering off into overripe fruit notes. The palate brings all that, plus a bit of alcohol as per every iteration of this beer, because it's a TIPA and it takes about as many prisoners as its name implies.
