Very nice, active, tiny bubble carbonation with a light golden-yellow colour, a tad unfiltered with a soapy-frothy white head, decent stay and some lacing spots. Lemon zest aromas on the mild side with a touch of citrus juices. The mouthfeel is not too thick with a light dryness in the end. Lemony flavours with herbal hints. A good Cold IPA that gown down with a thinner, shorter finish and milder citrusy notes.

On tap at Vieux Dublin Pub, Montreal. Murky medium orange with a small lingering white cap that leaves tight lace. Nose is bright citrus and tropical fruit with highlights of orange peel, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit. Light melon sweetness with a medium+ grapefruit and pineapple bitterness. Mouth is medium and creamy with average carbonation and a juicy finish. 9/4/9/4-/18-

Hazy golden colour with an amber hue, a big frothy-creamy warm off-white head, very good retention and some creamy lacing left. A very juicy nose with oranges mostly, blended with a herbal touch of the hops. Pineapple aromas do come out to sweeten things a bit. Not overly carbonated, quite juicy of a mouthfeel. Not super dry in the finish, but not too thick as well. The alcohol is very well-hidden with more of a bite of citrus zest, then warming. Citrusy and milder than the nose. A beautiful, juicy Double NEIPA that goes down very smoothly. I am thankful they brought this one back again... and would have again in the future.

Un nez floral, herbacé et épicé. Un liquide jaune paille partiellement voilé. Une mousse abondante, rocailleuse et persistante. Légèrement fruitée et épicée à l'entrée de bouche. Notes légèrement citronnées, poire, fruits à chair blanche. Amertume subtilement herbacée, terreuse et légèrement astringente. Ni le maïs, ni le malt ne ressortent particulièrement. Les houblons sont bien travaillés et en évidence. Rafraichissante mais présentant peu d’intérêt; du moins pour moi. O:8.1 V:3.09 G:6.2 C:4.16 G:13.4 T:34.95

Hazy, golden-amber colour with a fizzy cap that last a little longer than expected and no lacing left. Sour, fruity nose with mango and passion fruit notes. The pineapple are less felt, but add some light sweetness to the rest. The sourness shows up more in the flavours with enough puckering that lingers. The fruits are present and all well-blended. Again, mostly the mango and passion fruit, which I do not mind, comes out. This seems to cut the sweetness, and concentrate on the fruitiness. A decent tropical fruit sour.

Can from Beer Republic. A bit hazy golden with a medium white head. Citrus, caramel and some grass. Medium bitterness. A decent old school one.

Lightly hazy, golden colour with nice-fine carbonation, a big white frothy cap, good stay and clouds of thick, foamy lacing. Big apple scent at first, with mild pineapple notes coming along to sweeten the deal. Underlying citrus hops as well. The mouthfeel is wet, but enough kick to be pleasureful, and very mild dryness. A nice balance of those fruits in the taste as well. Gets quite hazy as it pours. A slightly different, easy-drinking, refreshing, fruity and juicy NEIPA à-la 100% Québec.

Very lightly hazed and very light golden-yellow colour. Frothy white head, good stay and some nice foamy-soapy patches of lace are left. Herbal nose with a touch of lemon-sourness and zest. The corn base is well-blended, but gives a smooth taste. Wet mouthfeel with a little dryness in the end, making it nice and crisp. The corn comes out a little more in the aromas. A good, light, easy-drinking, crisp-herbal lager.
