Growler from the Callister (thx, Alex!) at Alex’s in honor of my birthday and CPA PREP finish. Pours a clody golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and lacto. Taste is the same. Pleasant.

Growler from the brewery
Filthy murky blond color, no head. Very nice aroma, strawberries, banana, a bit dank. Lean body, just light sweetness; crisp malts flavor, followed by strong orange character, both sweet orange juice and bitter orange peel. The flour doesn’t muddle this too much.
Good.

On tap at Callister. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits with earthy notes. Taste is dunk, tropical fruits, juicy. Very good for the people who do love (not like some other people kind of A. and M., lol) such kind of beer.

On tap at the Callister. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma is piney hops with some unusual berry-ish/fruit-ish notes. Taste is with the strange notes and hoppy bitterness. Quite good, but not the best from Boombox.

Cask at Callister, Vancouver
Blond color, quite clean actually. Some aroma of office pot coffee (even a jar of Nescafé smells better, be honest). No carbonation, warm temperature; delicate malt, sweetish, with a touch of wheat bread, chilies, and hint of cold brewed coffee.
Not too bad, but rather purposeless, like sugar and meatballs.
Chaos beer.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque, cloudy, filthy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of citrus pithy notes, light piney hops and yeast. Flavour is similar, with lots of pithy notes, some tropical fruits, yeast and piney hops. Rather confused flavour profile overall, with a very dirty, yeasty character. Palate is very milky and thick on the palate, which is very odd and a little off-putting. Getting tired of these filthy NE-style IPAs, and this is one of the filthier, messier ones around here. Not good.

On tap at Callister, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out pine hops, some light resins and some earthy notes. Flavour is intensely piney and bitter, with boatloads of piney hops, a floral quality and almost no malt character. Exceedingly bitter, almost too much so. Fun extreme IPA that is a bit too harsh.

On tap at Callister, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of coffee upfront, maybe a hint of the lactose, though it's not very apparent. Flavour is balanced well between the coffee and lactose, finishing like a moderately sweet white chocolate mocha. Smooth palate and very silky on the palate. Solid, fun beer.

2019-02-02, can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver, 8-3-8-3-16=38
Murky blond colour. The aroma is explosive, with citrus fruits, some mango, some tropical fruit, light dank. It's a bit chalky and astringent, but the hop portion is impeccable, being juicy, citrusy, a bit piney and dank.
Dirty as too often happens with Boombox, but a good hop juice.
2017-03-15, draught at Callister, Vancouver, 7-1-7-3-12=30
Lurid yellow color (pour milk, Fanta and sewer water in a glass for same visual effect). The mini straight glass doesn't help, but the aroma is fruity, with mostly tropical notes, yuzu, pineapple. Strong mouthfeel, moderately sweet; pale malt base, followed by a very fruity and juicy hopping (grapefruit, pineapple, kalamansi) that ends with a strong piney character, what I like; unfortunately everything is soiled by the usual NE nonsense: chalky, wheaty, astringent.
Can we try something with less dirt in? Frankly, I could never drink a full glass of this.
Poor Vancouver hipster culture.
