473 ml can. Pours a bright amber with moderate head. Aromas of pineapple, citrus, pine resin, and biscuity malts. Flavors of candied pineapple, pine resin, bitter citrus and dry toasted malts. Very good. One of the best West Coast IPAs from Four Winds IMHO.

16oz @ 🏡 Appearance: a bit hszy golden with a white head. Aroma: citrusy, some pine and dankness. Taste: bitter, nice body, a bit crispy, some fruity character. Finishes with noticeable piney bitterness. Overall: good for those who likes old school IPAs, but it's too bitter for me.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks beerplace; pkg 10/12/24). Near black with dissipating beige head. Worst of the Boreas releases, but still decent for the price... Subdued sweet vanilla and chocolate with a feint hint of American oak The barrel quality is subdued and the base beer seems haphazard. Above average, but not great. Still decent from a cost-to-quality ratio.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 20/11/24). Clear blonde gold with big white head. A bit oily, citrus and mild pine hops with a hint of tropical hops in the background. Could have a bit more depth, but I enjoy it.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy blond colour, medium head. Aroma of pine, zest oils, ight dankness. Dry mouthfeel, it has the body strength of a 7% IPA, delicate malts, which could be pleasant, but then spoiled by medium pithy bitterness; there are also piney resins.

Poured from the side pull tap @ Magnet. Guessing this must be some sort of re-release. Dark brown with small off-white head. Feint toasted nuts, light banana esters, simple, average.
