Hazy, golden colour with an amber hue, a frothy white head, good stay and some good foamy lacing. A few particles floating around. Getting fruity sweetness at first with pineapple and stone fruits. Then, orange juice kicks in to blend things. This continues in the taste, but not as sweet as the nose - with citrus zestiness that cuts this. A juicy mouthfeel, not too thick - kind of medium bodied with just enough light dryness in the end. Not getting much of the Nelson Sauvin white grapes. Might be overrun by the Cryo and Hyperboost hops. Still, a pretty juicy and refreshing NEIPA with great drinkability.

A slight haze, bright golden colour with a smaller white head, decent stay and some nice creamy-foamy lacing. Getting some citrus nose at first, but then, some spicy Pils malt come out, the piney and resinous notes. The flavours continues with a nice blend of citrus zestiness, light spiciness, cereal malt base and good pine needles. A wet mouthfeel with some decent dryness in the finish. Quite a refreshing West Coast IPA that has more to offer and goes down nicely.

This ale poured a hazy light yellow colour with a bright white, creamy head. Nice lacing. Scents include hay, grass, grapefruit and a little cooked veggies. First swig was slightly thin but very drinkable. Flavours of grapefruit, pineapple and maybe some honey. Finish is mildly bitter with citrus hop flavour lingering.
Stopped here just to get a local Untappd badge.

Hazy yellow, large white head. Light darkness, citrus zest, and melon. Good mouth feel, lovely carb, medium to high bitterness. Big bright zesty citrus finish, with a tropical kick, and dank pine notes.

Pours murky pear into a tulip. White soapy head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Pineapple and lemon aromas. Sweet with dusty pineapple rind, tangerine and lemon peel front to back. Medium length dusty pith finish.

Pours hazy pale yellow into a shaker. White soapy head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Citrus and malt aromas. Medium bodied with sweet citrus and spicy pine upfront turning to earthy sourdough in the medium length finish. Taste is OK, but I could do without the sugar.

On tap at Collective Arts - Toronto, pours a cloudy dull yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is fairly neutral, with gentle citrus, not much else. Flavour is much the same, with generic hoppy bitterness, maybe some tanginess, and a murky earthiness. Not great hop expression and a muddled malt profile.

On tap at Collective Arts - Toronto, pours a dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma has some gentle roastiness—more so than a typical brown—with moderate earthiness. Flavour is much the same, with toasted malt, earthiness, and a touch of coffee grounds. More assertive than the average brown. Nicely constructed.
