473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has gentle tangy hops, with some stone fruit pith and a touch of chalk. Flavour is somewhat chalky, with lots of gritty stone fruit pith, a hint of Nelson, and some chalk. Smells better than it tastes — damn chalk. And damn bad advertising, not labelling this as a hazy.

473ml can. Pours an opaque brown with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that leaves spotty lacing. Spicy aroma of roasted malt, chili pepper, dark chocolate, cinnamon and coffee. Spicy flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, all-spice, chili pepper and cinnamon in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Could use more body, but still pretty decent.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a large, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, grapefruit, peach and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, passionfruit, cantaloupe and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink.

473 ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with short fizzy head that settles quickly. Aromas of cinnamon, toasted peppers, coffee and soft roasted malts. Flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg are very prominent overloading the roasted malt base. Some nice pepper heat at the end but pretty much a spice overload. Spice and adjuncts need big base beers.

473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Semi-sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and caramel. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, licorice and coffee in a dry, bitter, warming booze finish. Medium to full body with a sticky, oily texture and soft carbonation. An excellent candidate for barrel aging.

Tasting at Ryan's, can
Murky pale yellow colour. Nice aroma, good expresion from the Nelson Sauvin, leaning into some onion and dankness too. Smooth mouthfeel, a bit starchy but not egregious; off-dry; not much to say about the malt/oats base, but the hopping is surely well done, with plenty of Nelson Sauvin pungent character. Clean this up, add a bit of sweetness, and you have a banger.

16oz @ Ryan's (thx for the beer, dude!) shared with Faress and Alex. Appearance: murky blonde with a white head. Aroma: very dank, some car exhausts, somewhat juicy. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: meh.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy blonde gold with small white head. Dank and tangy hops, some gas fumes, lacks follow through on the taste, but it's decent.

473 ml can. Pours a thick whitish gold with light head. Aromas of spicy tropical fruit, pithy citrus and wheaty malts. Flavors follow same. It’s a hazy. Not labelled as such. Minus points.

A poorly labelled hazy IPA. Pours opaque yellow with small white head. Aroma has a Nelson-like quality, but it's fairly mild. Flavour has some tangy wine character along with chalky citrus and hopburn. Body is thin and the carbonation is weak. Pretty disappointing.
