473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber copper with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, tangerine, pine and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange peel, pineapple, peach and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Flavourful, but was expecting more.

Mildly hazed, light golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, decent stay and some nice foamy lacing clouds on the glass. Lemon zest aromas with a touch of orange juice, and fresh herbal notes, even some mint. The taste shows again more lemon notes with the peel and a tad sourness, A mild dry finish Some particles show up as it pours. Feels like a milder, hazy IPA that fits the Monday bill.

Can from the LCBO. Very lightly hazed medium copper with a large cream coloured head that fades slowly and leaves stringy lace. Nose is bread, resin, citrus peel, grass and a bit of funk, though all a bit more subdued than continuous hopping would make you expect. Flavour follows with a light bread and melon sweetness and a medium pine and citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation. 7-/3+/7+/3+/14

Last can from their 7th Edition, 6-pack IPA Fun Box. Lightly hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, good stay and some foamy, thick lacing all-around. Citrusy aromas with a little lemon zest, more like APA strength. Mild citrus in the taste as well, with hints of tropical fruits. Was expecting way more here, but just feels like the mild feel of hazed Pale Ale. Meh.

Lightly hazy, golden colour with an amber hue, a big frothy-creamy-fluffy white head, nice lasting and leaving full of soapy thick lacing. Lost of citrus in the nose, as expecting full melon - but no, hints of it. Same for the taste, a touch more, but just that wet, refreshiness summer feel. Mostly citrusy. A nice, interesting juicy, hazy IPA with the added melon to calm the dryness.

Part of their 7th Edition IPA Fun Box. Pours a hazy golden colour with an amber hue. The head is big, frothy, kind of creamy, white, very long lasting and leaving some nice thick-foamy lacing. Hop particles fall to the bottom of the glass. Fresh tropical fruit aromas with a herbal touch that is blending well with the citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is wet, juicy with not a big drying finish, but not too thick as well. The taste is tamer, but still has lots of fruits, orange juice base with a tad grassiness. An easy-drinking East Coast IPA that is just that.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy medium orange with a small frothy white head producing spotty lace. Nose is bright orange peel, tropical fruit, grass and some grains. Light peach and banana sweetness with a medium- citrus bitterness though more muted than the nose. Mouth is medium creamy mouth with slightly soft carbonation and a juicy finish. 8/3+/7/3+/15-
Feels like the hop balance is a little off with this one. Vague tropical fruit notes, with some strong bitterness hops, hiding resin and finish with some hop burn, and a little dust. All over some sunny, mildly sweet malt.

Come off somewhat ashy. Mild hops that's vaguely resin, sweet malt, touch of lemon. Not much of an IPA, vaguely pleasant.
