(355ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours quite hazy deep gold with a small but stable white head and lace. Aroma of orange and grapefruit peels, pulpy citrus, musky tropical fruit, some forest berries, perfumed flowers. Flavour is off-dry with intense mandarin and grapefruit peels, deep but not overly bitter, with accents of floral tropical fruit, perfume, something soft and almost coconut like about the rounded yeast esters, some forest berries in the finish maybe?, light breadiness to the malt, bone dry finish with light bitterness and no hop burn. Light to medium bodied, slick, softly carbonated. A nice addition to the series with Amarillo and Loral certainly making their mark vs. other entries. For me this is solid but not as good as some iterations.
