On tap at spacecraft in Sudbury Ontario. Hazy yellow pour with a medium white head. Aroma is blast of freshly cut Plum. Some stone fruit notes are in there too to compliment the intense juicy aromas. Mouthfeel is perfect, carb is more of the same. Finish is beautifully tart, fresh plums, apricot, peach and grapefruit zest. Well done bench, incredible!

can from the LCBO. Hazy yellow pour, with a large, whispy white head. Aroma is full of corriander, light citrus zest, soft wheat, and cereals. mouth feel is thin, and watery, but thats expected in the style. Finish is lightly bitter, lots of lemon, and herbal, floral corriander, and citrus zest. A decent take on the style, a nice example.

Light hazy yellow, small white head. Lots of stone fruit, grass, and citrus. Some mango, and fresh hop pellets. Prefect mouth feel, and carb. The finish actually has a little bitterness but finished sharp and dry with a lovely mango, citrus flavour. Most session ipas have a slightly sweet, and dry minimal aftertaste. This is flavourful, and subtle but also sharp and refreshing. Really nice.
