6.4/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Hazy, medium head. Amber-yellow colour. The aroma has a fair bit going on - I'm guessing the white IPA part is a Belgian yeast because it's kicking off a lot of esters. There's red currants and clementines in there as well. I love Barbe Rouge but I'm thinking there's so much else going on it's blending in a bit more than I'd like. It's definitely Belgian yeast because the malts are really sticky, underattenuated. The esters are calmer on the palate but still prominent, along with more orangey notes. There's still a bit of bitterness, but it's got a funny sort of balance.

Pours a very nice solid foam and cloudy orange body. Good tangerine and papaya on the nose, slight candied pineapple. Flavour is sweet mandarin orange, soft pineapple, dry grain back end. Refreshing, tasty, very well crafted.

Murky blond colour, medium sized head. There's a bit of citrus juice and zest character from the hop, but I had brighter beers from Phantom; moderately juicy; the mouthfeel is half dry, this means that also the alcohol is more evident (just a bit of warmth on the palate); usual wheat/oat base for a Hazy, not too dirty.
Balanced, but without highlights.

From a 473ml can on 15/5/2021 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a hazy light golden with a medium head. Has a light tropical fruit aroma with quite a bit of melon. It’s quite sweet and tropical, again with a good dash of melon, with little in the way of countering bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate bitterness. Just okay.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy pale gold with white head. Doughy malt with gentle spice, subtle sweet berry notes, light floral hops. Decent.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a large white head. Nose is doughy and spicy, with peppery, spicy hops, doughy notes, floral notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is a little different, with dank hops, sweet malt, and a touch of floral character. Sweet, juicy and dank β€” tasting quite different than the aroma suggests. Pretty solid.

Good solid foam and soft semi-foggy tan body. Lots of apricot on the nose, modest piney hops, vague grain. Flavour is strong hops but not excessive, good maltiness. Alcohol is invisible which is amazing for ten percent. Not bad, a little simplistic for what you get and be careful because it is strong and not noticeable.

Nice foam and cloudy yellow body, sweet heavy funky hops on the nose with hints of pine and lemon Jolly Ranchers but done in a good way. Flavour is a slightly muddled affair, murky pineapple and orange hints. Mouthfeel is full and the abv remains hidden. But it needs a bit more pep to make it all a little more exciting.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver,/i>
Pale blond colour, cloudy. Mild aroma of sour orange, some peel. Lean and rather dry mouthfeel, the malt flavour is delicate, the hopping is fruity, delicate too, sweet citrus, sweet orange, with low bitterness.
Refreshing, quite simple.

Can from Firefly, Vancouver
Cloudy blond colour, a bit dull and darker than usual. Pungent hop aroma, cat pee, light pine. Moderately sweet; the malt base is confused, a bit gooey; the hopping is well done, with plenty of qualities (citrus peel, stone fruit).
Very good, juicy.
