(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours opaque dull yellow with a thick white head and heavy lace. Aroma of very sweet citrus and stone fruit, especially tangerine and canned peach, backbeats of mango and white wine, smooth softly bready malt underpinnings. Flavour is a bit less sweet and juicy than the nose would suggest but well-balanced, with pithy tangerines, fresh peach, melon, floral tropical fruit, lightly grassy Nelson, soft bready malt, very clean yeast, dry slightly mineral finish with floral hits and citrus oils, fairly low bitterness. Medium-bodied, soft creamy carbonation, no alcohol warmth. Excellent hop combo, it's hard to go wrong with these 3 in my books. Great DIPA.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours near-opaque bright yellow with a thick white head and ample lace. Notes of bright red and orange berries, pink grapefruit, white grape, some floral lime, touches of bassier sweet mixed tropical fruit at the core, light bready malt with a touch of sweetness, overall balance off-dry, finishing quite dry but low bitterness with intense Talus-like berries from Riwaka I suppose, citrus peels, leafy freshness and a touch of Strata soapy cannabis. Medium-plus body, average carb with a slight soda tingle, no booze. Lovely hop profile, even if I don't love Strata the Nelson-Riwaka pairing is as inspired as always.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours milkly yellow-gold with a thick white head and intense lace. Aroma of ripe peach, pineapple, cannabis, green melon and some citrus peel. Flavour is smooth and balanced between peach, melon and cannabis/resins, soft bready malt, some floral tropical fruit in the middle to finish. Dry low bitterness finish with the Galaxy floral notes popping out more into the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, soft carb, quite creamy mouthfeel. Another excellent Badlands, with the Galaxy florals being nicely framed by the danker leafier Cashmere.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours near-opaque orange-gold with a thick white head and lace. Aroma is beautifully dank and rendolent with lemon-lime cannabis, sugared passionfruit, pineapple, crushed mixed citrus pulp, sour diesel overtones, fresh grass, bready malt. Flavour is off-dry and with a slight tartness to match the sweet, lemon-lime candied peels, pulpy citrus mix, bright grass and cannabis leafiness, smooth doughy cereals, background tropical fruit, smooth doughy malt, dry finish with clean yeast character and low bitterness but stinging citrus/diesel and cannabis peppery vibes in the aftertaste. Medium-plus bodied, smooth and creamy, slight alcohol warmth. Bright, bold and beautiful NZ-hopped DIPA with a delightful citrus candy lead. Wish I had more!

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) ours quite hazy medium gold with a decent white head and spotty lace. Aroma of grapefruit oils, dank green melons, citrus-infused green tea herbaceousness, sticky hop cones, green garlic edges, some rather prominent cereal grains. Flavour is off-dry at best and heavily hop oil forward for Badlands, with big notes of grapefruit and pale citrus, lots of crushed citrus peels, peppery melons, herbal tea and hop leafiness, some rather prominent cereal grains, clean yeast without much ester sweetness, drying somewhat mineral finish with a little ABV warmth and light but tingling bitterness with notes of green onion, citrus oils, herbs and green tea. Medium bodied, very oily, softly carbonated. Interesting amalgam of Wood Bros and Badlands, with the spicy oily green hops and heftier cereals recalling the former and a smooth creamy dryness recalling the latter.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque deep yellow with a thick white head and lace. Aroma of tangerine and orange pulp with a fair amount of coconut flesh, slightly dank and herbal Sabro tones but with less dill than you sometimes get, tropical vibes as well, soft doughy malt. Flavour is off-dry and nicely floral, a little more BdBC to the hop profile with the citrus peels really popping, tropical perfumed flowers, soft coconut, dry kinda doughy malt that feels more like Badlands, smooth yeasty esters, drying slightly mineral finish with citrus peels, soft coconut and dried flowers/herbs...just avoids soapiness. Medium-bodied, oily and less creamy than some of the Badlands singles but nice mouthfeel. Interesting collabo in that it feels like the Badlands malt base hit with a BdBC hop schedule, which indeed could be what it is.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours near-opaque deep gold with a thick white head and some spotty lace. Aroma of canned pineapple, mixed citrus peels (orange, white grapefruit, lime), guava, some sweet banana candy, a bit of ganja. Flavour is off-dry but quite fruity with heavy hits of orange and lime peels, nectarine, guava-like florals, banana penicillin, some dank fruity weed, pineapple accents, very smooth lightly bready malt with low sweetness, drying totally into the finish which is low bitterness but has a nice lime peel grip to it and very light alcohol warmth. Medium-bodied, a bit less creamy than usual house style with moderate (so high for Badlands) carb. Really solid DIPA again from Badlands; I am not sure the malt base tweak is 100% successful but it was more because I felt a shift away from creaminess. Hop profile is quite nice.
