(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours fairly bright medium gold with a thick white head that is stable and leaves heavy lace. Aroma of peach, creamy light orange juice, pale citrus zest, tropical florals from Galaxy, light leafy/green garlic edge, not much malt. Flavour is lime, grapefruit and some less sweet orange, slightly bitter rindy floral tropical fruit, lime zest oils, some onion/garlic pepperiness but not hop burn, very light cereals, off-dry at best with a dry finish that has fairly low bitterness and a nice citrus oil grip. Light bodied but oily to creamy, great mouthfeel for low ABV. Excellent low ABV hops; the dryness from the weaker malt base is evident but the mouthfeel and hop profile are of a bigger beer.

(473ml can from BG18e, Quebec City) Pours rather hazy medium yellow with a nice pile of white foam and some lace. Aroma of candied pink grapefruit, mango, heady floral tropical fruit (canned lychee, mangosteen, guava), lime. Flavour is mid-sweet and very juicy, canned peach, candied pineapple and papaya, rich tropical florals, light grapefruit peel bitters, smooth fruity yeast, malt core is really retiring, drying but low bitterness ‘red fruit’ tropical floral finish and aftertaste with nice hop oils. Medium-bodied, oily, rather softly carbonated. Nice floral-side NEIPA vibes while avoiding soapiness, had a certain BdBC-esque feel to it which is a great compliment. Loving the work from Nano Cinco at the moment.
