Thanks Justin for sharing the can! Poured into a tulip showing well filtered pale gold with no head. The nose shows moderately intense notes of NE style malt, cannabis, and pineapple. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Moderately intense flavors of cannabis with prickly alcohol and a moderate bitterness.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Tallboy. Pours yellow and not too foamy. Simple fruity nose hinting something juicy. Light hop dust. Taste is hoppy, clean and medium bitterness. Pears and melon, then herbal grassy bitterness kicks in and leads to a dry finish. Simple but good, kind of what you want to have from a good hoppy IPA.

16 oz. can from Beercraft. Pale golden with a light haze, small bubbly head fades. Bready, grainy aroma, light sweet notes. Taste brings some dryness, still focusing on the bready malts. A bit of bitterness too. Light and flavorful.

Happy hour pint on 17th Jan 2018 in the OB Brewery, Ocean Beach, San Diego. Golden pour, white crown. Tropical fruits esters in the nose, tropical fruit flavours in the taste. Although citrusy in nature it was more sweet than bitter (no lemon or lime flavours) with juicy pineapple coming to mind as I sat on the rooftop terrace hoping the sun would come out and warm me!

32oz crowler share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Filled on 02/14/2017. Doré, col blanc très épais et crémeux. Arôme au nez fruité, houblonné restant un peu pauvre au niveau des effluves, petite pointe verte assez minimaliste. Palais ets malté, pâle, caramel ace une petite note huileuse surtout au fini où la dominance des houblons est bien marquée. Pointe épicée sur la fin, effervescence reste moyenne voire faible.
