2019-07-11, draught at Darby's Gastown, 7% ABV, 8-3-8-4-17=40
Cloudy to murky blond colour with small creamy head. Strong citrus peel character, some hop resins, good body, enough bitterness, and I sense a bit of residual sugar too. A lot of character.
Excellent batch.

Murky yellow-orange color, small head, disappears quickly. Aroma of orange peel and yeast. It's moderately juicy, mostly orange and orange peel; it also has too much yeast, it's astringent, and in the final it has pithy bitterness.
Very chaotic and dirty.
2017-08-29, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 8-2-5-1-11= 27
Murky orange-blond color, small head. The aroma is very fruity, peachy, with some sweat. The mouthfeel is chewy, chalky, very yeasty, leading to strong vegetable bitterness and final astringency.
Very dirty beer, not pleasant.
2016-11-02, draught at Callister, Vancouver, 7-3-7-4-15=36
Cloudy pale blond color. Nice aroma of fruity hops, stone fruits, lightly dank. Lean mouthfeel, light residual sweetness, the malts are a bit bready, less crisp than other Boombox pale beers, but the hopping is well done, with both bitterness and soft resins, hop oils, orange peel, and some astringency in the final, probably the oats.
Very good.
