Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones and some light tropical hops notes and with a semi-dry finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones notes, some tropical hops notes and a semi-dry finale. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice tropical focus floral hops notes with creamy notes.

(473ml can from 4th and7, Toronto) Pours very cloudy yellow-gold with a thick white head that lingers with heavy lace. Aroma is intensely white grape and gooseberry, some nice melon tones, paler red berries as well, some bright grapefruit-type citrusy overtones, underlying tropical fruit juicy sweetness and fresh wet leafy NZ vibes as expected. Flavour is sweetish white grape and lightly tart gooseberry, softly bittering white grapefruit, melon and soft mango sweetness, nice bready malt feel and clean fruity yeast, semi-dry finish with very low leafy bitterness and just a bit of citrus/melon peel astringency for balance. Light bodied and oily to creamy with soft filling carbonation. Showing all the best of NZ here for me, lovely balance with big flavours and a nice departure away from anything Citra/Mosaic can give you in an IPA. Excellent brewing.
