Can from the LCBO.
Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is obviously big on citrus notes, grapefruit, and lemon zest. mouth feel is light, carb is bright and livey. Finish is low on the bitterness scale, soft cereals, hops fade, turn from citrus, and lean more towards grass.

Can from the lcbo. Pours a murky yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is green hop pellets and grasses with notes of pine resin and citrus skins. Dank and strong, the pine dominates at the end. Medium bitterness, green hop notes throughout. Nice stuff.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is floral citrus, with some light pale malts, pretty basic for an APA. Mouth feel and carb are standard fare. Finish is lightly bitter, more citrus peel, and light crackers.
