(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours opaque pale orange juice with an average sized frothy white head that leaves a lot of lace. Aroma is a dank tropical and citrus basket with mango, pineapple, sweet orange, cannabis and hop resins with a decent punching out the nose with impressive saturation, the backing of soft bready malt supporting. Flavour is slighlty less sweet than the nose would suggest but no less saturated, with the balance at moderate sweetness; orange pulp and dank mangoes driving the profile with slightly peppery cannabis all over it, nice citrus oils and floral tropical fruit behind, finish is off-dry with orange and grapefruit peels, mango and grassy weed contributing light bitterness. Medium-full plush creamy body and soft carb, no alcohol presence. Lovely stuff, a big step above the other canned DIPAs I've had from Badlands so far. The lessons here need to be ported into the monthly series et. al.!

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours opaque bright peach/orange with a small white head and nice lace. Aroma of nice dank overripe and candied mango, resinous pine, cannabis, grapefruit peel, subtle peach nectar, nice sweet juicy fruit-driven nose overall. Flavour is a bit drier than the nose would suggest, with pine resin, both green and slightly underripe mango, lots of dank weed of a peppery spicy strain, usual softly bready Badlands malt profile, finishing bone dry and lightly bitter with more peppery pine/weed resin and grapefruit into the aftertaste and just a hint of hop burn (unusual for the brewery). Medium bodied, soft and creamy as per usual. Another nice Badlands, this one is interesting because Citra is driving the nose but Simcoe seems to be dominating on the tongue. Tasty!

RERATE (473ml can batch 2 c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque pale yellow with a thick white head and lace. Aroma of intense dank mango, sweet orange and peach, pulpy grapefruit, citrus zest, mixed tropicals, solid leafy catty hop cones. Flavour is following the nose but a bit drier, grapefruit and mixed citrus zest, smooth mango, underlying pineapple, leafy dank notes. Light cereals. Bone dry finish, grapefruit and tangerine, tropical florals, cannabis, grass, light to moderate resin bitterness, slight warmth. Medium-bodied, low creamy carb. A vast improvement on the first can batch for me. OLD (473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours nearly opaque yellow-gold with a tight white head and lace. Notes of soft mango, orange, peach, slightly grassy, softly sweet oat-laden pale malt core, almost chalky dry nature to it, subtle citrus peel and soft pine bitterness in the finish, no hint of booze, but a bit muted overall. Medium-full creamy body with soft carbonation. A great mouthfeel like all Badlands beers these days, but I felt like this lacked the punch I was expecting. I don't know if they last more poorly or are just more muted, but their DIPAs are largely inferior to their IPAs at the moment. (7-4-7-4-16)

(473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours opaque deep gold with a tight head of fine white bubbles and carpets of lace. Aroma of mango, candied orange, tangerine, light florals, undertones of cannabis and resin, and a nice soft bready malt. Flavour is off-dry up front with a big punch of fresh grapefruit pulp, candied orange, mango, soft stone fruit, a decent resin hit of citrus oils and soft weed, light bready malts, finishing fairly dry and softly bitter with lots of grapefruit pulp and pith lingering. Medium-bodied, soft and creamy just as you expect from Badlands. This is more grapefruity and resinous than other things I've tried from them, but it's not 'old school' per se. A really nice drinker.

(473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours very hazy bright gold with a decent sized white head and spotty lace. Aroma of mandarin and dank peppery mango with intense citrus peel headiness, undertones of creamy papaya and peach, nice leafy Mosaic quality drifting over top. Flavour is mid-sweet up front with mandarin and tangerine leading, background of dank mango, floral tropical fruit in the middle, finish returns to the punchy mandarin zest vibes with lingering dank catty hop cone vibes lingering into the aftertaste. Medium bodied and creamy with that smooth carbonation we come to expect from Badlands. I feel like the Mosaic is actually the dominant partner here, one of the only things that can stand up to Citra. Nice brew as usual from them!

(473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours quite cloudy orange-gold with a thick white head and good lace. Aroma of pineapple, mandarin pulp, citrus peels, peppery florals, light skunky weed, bready malt. Flavour of pineapple, green mango, guava, mandarin zest, grapefruit, herbaceous florals, fresh leaves, light touches of resin, softly sweet bready malt with good support for the resinous florals and green mango in the finish which holds light astringent bitterness. Medium bodied, quite creamy with smooth carbonation. A little bit on the unripe resinous floral tip with the Mosaic bringing out that side of El Dorado. Really solid NEIPA.

(473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours opaque medium gold with a thick white head and spotty lace. Aroma is bright, juicy and tropical with pineapple, papaya and mango with floral guava and red berry vibes, some pulpy grapefruit and a little citrus peel and weed edge, soft bready malt. Flavour is juicy plush floral tropical fruit like papaya, melon and lychee, accents of pineapple and citrus, particularly plush soft cereal breadiness in this. Finsih is low bitterness, fairly dry with orange zest prominent. Medium plus creamy mouthfeel and carb, finally dialled that in with these cans. Lovely smooth hop profile here and combined with the excellent mouthfeel this is the winner of the 80% of the 'Batch # series I tried.
