Can (22/03/22) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's an opaque, milky yellow with tons of sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, grape and citrus. Taste is strong grape and herbal/vaguely metallic over tropical fruit and hint of citrus. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, you can call this a New Zealand IPA but it is a very good representative of the juicy, NEIPA style (even at 5 months!). Well done!

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours rather cloudy gold with a decent white head that is stable and leaves lace. Notes of pithy pale citrus (grapefruit, lemon, lime), leafy/grassy soft bitterness, some bready malts with a touch of cereal or even toast, some sweet ester/sugar boosting the middle up, drying finish with leaves, citrus pith and a touch of resin. Medium-bodied, oily, moderate carbonation. Decent enough but I expected a lot more pop. The can seemed a bit tired despite being ~5 weeks old, maybe not stored well at the depanneur.
