473ml can for my birthday that pours a lightly hazed, very light golden-yellow with a frothy-bubbly white cap, good stay and leaving nice creamy lacing streaks. Pilsner aromas with some nice cereal malt notes and spicy hops grassiness. The taste is milder in malts, but the hop flavours are quite strong. The create some decent dryness in the finish. Beautiful grass, mild spiciness and refreshing all-around.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours lightly hazed deep pink with a small pink-white head and a little lace. Nose is fresh crushed strawberries and light lactic meets berry tartness, herbal slightly minty hop notes, a little raspberry but not Rubus-dominated, slight citrusy tones but not really heavily hopped and more about the strawberries. Some slight bite from the raspberry mid to finish but not dramatically different from the original strawberry-only version, smooth vanilla kissed berry finish with some berry pip and hop astringency in the aftertaste. Light bodied, soft to average carbonation. Real nice summer refresher in the park even if it doesn't stray much from the OG version.

(On tap @ BG18e, Quebec City, Aug 22/21 & in 473ml can) Pours opaque milky whitish yellow with a small same-coloured head and lots of floaties/lace (yellow fruit and black pips). Aroma has heavy floral guanabana, overripe mango and pineapple, nice moderately ripe banana that isn't too cloying, fairly sweet and lightly fruity-tart with vanilla overtone. Flavour is moderately sweet and lightly lactic-tart, again prominent floral tones from guanabana with moderately ripe pineapple in support, the banana is in the background and the mango provides rounded sweetness especially in the finish where it's joined by vanilla. Lactose not overly prominent. Medium-full body is quite thicc for yellow fruit smoothie, low carbonation, fruit chunks aplenty. Super tasty floral tropical mix, I love the guanabana in this. BG and Nano Cinco are a good smoothie team.

On tap at Bistro L'Autre Oeil, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite chalky, with resinous and dank hops, chalk, and some earthiness. Flavour is fruity, with lots of dank hops, stone fruit pith and chalk. A bit too murky for my tastes, but it has a nice fruitiness. Decent.
