Hazy and very pale green. A bit refreshing soda character, but not sweet, and unfortunately a bit yeasty/sweaty in the finish so not great.

Brown body with a reddish tint and okay foam. Sweet floor cleaner on the nose, maybe soft floral notes, funky in an awkward way. Flavour is sweet fruity notes and a hint of malt with a thin mouthfeel; not nearly sour enough. Okay, but certainly not great.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
It won't affect the rating of the beer, but this is one of the most horrendous cans of the year. It's blond, light, with greenish hue, it's just hazy to cloudy; the head reduces to a small layer. The aroma ha nice hop qualities, it's citrusy and resiny. Dry mouthfeel, light, with very light crisp malt base; the bitterness is relatively low for an IPA, just a notch above the average NE IPA, the hop has some zesty quality, and very light tropical fruit, grapes, not very juicy, but it's very refreshing; the touch of sulfur in the finish is the only note out of tune, but it's almost imperceptible. You can feel a bit the alcohol, but overall it's very easy to drink.
Excellent.

Can, Legacy. Blonde, hazy, just a thin head. There's a bit of that overripe fruit on the aroma. On the palate, however, it's more in the sweet icing sugar pale malt mode, with a light subtropical fruit note. Soft, arguably too sweet while not possessing the bold, up front hop character that the style should embrace.

Spice and dark fruit with roast. Deep brown with a decent beige head. Roast and toffee with some sweetness. Not particularly pleasing.

Hazy golden colour. Smell of green apples, freshly cut wood. Soft mouthfeel, light residual sweetness, some malt base, lightly biscuity, apples.
Not a disaster, but close.
