473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is oily, with lots resinous oils, piney hops, and sweet caramel malt. Flavour is oily, with lots of resinous and piney hops, sweet caramel malt, and some syrupy notes. The balance is borderline acceptable, but still too malty, oily and sweet. It's not the most refined, nor is the hop character all that potent. Not bad—I appreciate that it's west coast style—but it needs some work to be notable. For me, too malty and oily.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver, BT0730A, July 30? possibly 1.5 months old
Golden colour, clean. Mild aroma, sweet malt and ripe fruits. It's full bodied, not too sweet, maybe a bit oily; mellow malt base, with a touch of caramel and biscuits; the hop has some fruity qualities (ripe stone fruits), and balanced bitterness; the alcohol is hidden.
A good Triple IPA, not vibrant, but very clean and reasonably well made.

16 oz can poured. Juicy raspberry lemonade like appearance. A refreshing berliner with gentle tart lemon, and jammy mixed berry. Really flavorful, and easy drinking. No surprises with this one. Lemon, raspberry, crusher. Enjoyed this.

Has cloudy yellow body and okay foam. Smells of nice gin, a bit of citrus, a bit of floor cleaner. Taste is more floor cleaner, lemon and gin are getting a bit too chemicaly intimate. nice carbonation at least. It's okay if you're thirsty, but needs a rework to feel more natural.

Has okay medium clear gold modest foam, aroma isnice sweet peach tea, snapple like. Tastes of good chewy sweet peach, chunky grain to back it up. Ends full, lingering grain. It's easy and refreshing, hitting the poolside vibe well.
