Can from the LCBO. Hazy pink pour, with a light off white pinkish head. Aroma is sweet malts, light apples notes, a tad musty with some wet paper. Cherry is kinda there in the background, it's very subtle, but it's there. Mouth feel is slightly creamy, carb is very muted and dull. Finish is lightly bitter, light cherry candy notes, with more of the sweet/musty malts. not very good.

Can from the LCBO. Poured a cloduy yellow, with a large white head. Aroma is very NEIPA i find. Big melon, and stone fruit notes, with some subdued citrus, i'm not getting an brut notes whatsoever. Carb is soft, and the mouthfeel is creamy, and silky. FInish is medium bitter, a bit vegetal, with lots of tropical, and stone fruit. I would never guess this was a brut ipa if i didnt read the can description.

473ml can. Hazy light brown pour with a small white head. Aroma is faint raspberry, slightly tart, with some soft, faint wheat and yeast. Mouth feel is full, carb is very very soft. Finish is a big meh. Low bitterness, random frutiness. Pretty bland.

Murky brown pour, small off white head. Spicy Aroma, lots of nutmeg, cardamon, and some sweet, subtly sour plums, and figs. Some black peppers comes through, with alot of brown sugar, and caramel. Lightly sour finish, and a very very boozy warming end. This was weird and I couldn’t finish it. I actually think the 13% is low, I’m thinking it’s about 17-18.

Great orange pour, with a very large white head. Deep citrus Aroma, with some light catty notes. Nice citrus oil, fresh cut grass, light herbs. Good mouth feel, carb is a tad high. Finish has an incredibly strong grapefruit pith bitterness. Long and dry, pithy and citrus oil. Nice stuff.

Big roasty notes, loads of pine resin hops. Incredible amount of lacing gonna my glass, oily mouth feel. Very bitter finish, more huge roasty and piney hops. Warming finish, if there was such a thing as a double black IPA this would be it. Tasty stuff.

Hazy beige pour, big white head. The aroma is definitely galaxy
.... Some nice peachy, stone fruit aromas, and not really much else. The mouth feel is somewhat thin, but the carb is good. The finish is very thin, the hops fall right off and all thats left is some soft malty sweetness and some light toasted cereals.

Hazy golden pour, small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is big on malted wheat and grass, with some sweet yeasty notes but it lacks that upfront bananas aroma. The mouth feel is full and the carb is good. The finish is very strong on cereal flavours, sweet, and slightly bitter. The finish shows off the bananas flavours, and some grassy hops. Nice here but lacks some apects of a classic Hefe in the aroma.

The past two ratings are not indicative of this beer. This is a good double ipa. A really nice amber/copper pour, with a big off white head. Upfront is a big dose of sticky pine resin hops, and some good sweet bready malts. The body is a tad thick, and the carb is perfect. The finish is very bitter, think grapefruit pith. As it warms some juicy citrus comes through with another big wallop of sticky pine resins. Well balanced, a good beer.
