Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a medium white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones notes and some light residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Interesting NEIPA with nice use of juicy hops but hops notes could have been even more prominent.

Fairly clean with a few particles floating around. A light golden, bright yellow colour with an off-white frothy-bubble head, good stay and some foamy lacing streaks. Fresh pear malty aromas with eventually some herbal notes. The flavours are much of the same with hints of cereals. This is quite the beautiful, refreshing, fruity and malty Blonde ale that goes down nicely.

Can: Poured a clear yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some residual sugar notes and faint herbal hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with some sweet notes and faint herbal hops notes and a sweet finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Good lager with a clean malt bill and could barely taste the corn notes.

Can: Poured a yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet malt notes with some coriander notes and light lavender. Taste is a mix of sweet wheat malt notes with some nice coriander, orange peel and lavender notes offsetting the residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed wheat ale with a great drinkability factor.

Clean, darker amber colour with some mild golden highlights. The head is frothy, light warm beige coloured with decent stay and creamy-foamy lacing. Darker cereal malt aromas with some light toastiness, caramel and hints of herbal hops. The flavours are milder with fruity malts from a Rousse, with a touch of cereal, nuttiness and dryness in the finish. A very slight haze appears at last pour. A decent Rousse that is easy going down.

Pours a slight haze, red-purple-peachy colour with a fizzy light-pinkish head that disappears quickly. Sour aromas with fruity raspberries and hints of oranges. The taste shows raspberry juices with the sourness again lingering and a touch of tart left. A nice refreshing, juicy, sour with the fruity raspberry notes.

After having their Boathouse #7 - lets try their brand new #8. Golden-amber colour with a fluffy-soapy whitish head, lasting a little more than the previous, and a touch more lacing left. Citrus hop nose with a tad alcohol, bitterness, oats and grassiness. More juicy than #7 already. This one seems to continue in the path of the series, maybe why the Eclipse hops were written on their site, but El Dorade is showing on the label of the can. This one has the citrus, but not that zing, zesty, sting #7 had. Another juicy, refreshing DDH IPA that fits the bill.

Hazy golden colour with a smaller, bubbly white cap not lasting as long as usual, and minimal soapy lacing. The nose seems more drying, but the mouthfeel is not. Very wet and just a touch of dryness is left. It does build, but in a thin way. The orange and grapefruit of the Amarillo hops are felt, but milder. It is like citrus zest is left on the tongue, but very lightly, and a tad tart. A little sting-spiciness lingers. I think the Eclipse hops is what I am not a fan of in Cold IPAs, and makes this one - not my favourite.
