16oz can pours a murky orange with some cloudy, white head. Nose has muddled tropical fruits, oats, vanilla, some coconut. Flavor is sweet, chewy malt, coconut cream, pineapple upside down cake. Finishes full bodied.

Pours hazy deep gold into an English pint. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Dusty tropical fruit aromas. Thick with dark caramel and citrus peel upfront turning to thick, earthy bark and dough in the medium length finish.

From a can courtesy of solidfunk. Pours a cloudy gold with a quickly receding white head. Aromas of dank hay. Flavors are soft but bitter citrus. Nicely put together IPA.

Can. I can't remember the last time I had a beer from this brewery. Gold colour, a bit dull from a touch of haze but compared with most pales these days this is pretty bright. Thin head. On the nose and palate both, it has a bit of malt chewiness, more than I'd expect from the colour. Bitterness seems lower than the 38 IBU that's on the can. Malts leave a fair bit of sweetness on the palate and aren't really helping the hops out much. But the hops themselves could be brighter. I get going a bit old school but the elements here aren't complementing each other all that well. Would love more agrumes in this one, really.

Can from the Packie Pours a lightly hazy light gold in color with a frothy off white head that persists. Pine resin and light pithy citrus with a solid bready toasty maltiness. Nice

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours opaque orange-gold with a thick white head and loads of lace. Aroma of canned fruit cup, especially peaches and oranges, very sweet and quite juicy, with floral and herbal edges and a hint of creamy coconut from the Sabro in the blend. Flavour is a bit less sweet than the nose would suggest, orange juice, lemon and lime peels, and even a lemony acidity in there, some kind of rindy but plush tropical fruit, a little melon, a bit herbal and grassy. Core of slightly sweet brioche malt. Dries into the finish, low bitterness, some lemon/lime peels and herbs, a bit short and low-flavour on the finish with little aftertaste. Light bodied and a little watery, with somewhat creamy carbonation. Nice nose on this one but the flavour and body isn't really up to the standard Boreale has set with Nord-Est etc. Not sure why, I'd have thought the standard recipe with the Pink Boots blend would have been a winner.
