473mL can, pours a totally opaque cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite yeasty, with plenty of dank hops, pithy stone fruits, and lots of chunky yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with pithy stone fruits, lots of chunky yeast, and dank hops. Finishes quite bitter and yeasty. I think I may prefer the original, but this is nice enough.

Can from Strathcona, Vancouver
The usual murky yellow colour, with generous frothy head. The aroma is very fruity, it starts with pink grapefruit, then a touch of guava and white grapes. The mouthfeel is lean, yet it has some residual sweetness, but well dosed, with a delicate and crisp malt background, a touch of toasty oats, and then an explosion of resiny hops, bitter citrus peel, sweet orange; it's juicy, but also more bitter than the average NEIPA, which is appreciated, possibly even a bit pithy, bitter almond finish.
Somehow unusual, but excellent.

Can, Legacy. Muddy pale tan with no head. Dank aroma but powdery and yeasty. Soft body, light but vague fruit, some alcohol harshness, very yeasty and green. This is really not up to Superflux standards.

Tall can from Strathcona shared with wife. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits with pineapple notes. Taste is similar with tooth paste freshness, very juicy but dry. Very nice.

Can. Legacy. Murky trub, without much head. Has a fairly prominent and vaguely grapefruity lupulin powder aroma, with a touch of alcohol. A bit thin and harsh - not so much from alcohol as just a stinging hop note, not much malt but also a bit of yeast. Not especially balanced.

Tall can from JAK's New West. Pours a cloudy (can has been shaked as per Alex, lol) pale golden with a white head. Aroma is dank, some grassy notes, tropical fruits. Taste is along the same lines, SUPER juicy. I think it will become brilliant in a couple of weeks.

Canned today, from The Gull, North Vancouver
Ugly murky yellow with generous compact head, at least the head is an improvement over the average NE IPA. The aroma is extremely dank, musky, with a late addition of tropical fruit and citrus zest. The mouthfeel is moderately chewy, but not flour-y or astringent; the dank character transfers from the aroma directly into the flavour, like rarely seen in other beers, the sweetness is very moderate, the hop character is also very piney, quite zesty, and with a harsh but acceptable level of bitterness in the end.
It's still very green, but I'm glad that I could try a beer so fresh. And it's going to be great.
