(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours opaque milky dull gold with a tight stable eggshell head and lace. Aroma is not insanely strong for the hop saturation, a lot of ripe dank mango, resin, cannabis, navel orange, grapefruit, citrus peels, peppery green garlic. Flavour is off-dry and absolute hop shake in character, the malt is doughy and supports intense red mango with heavy resin/turpentine edges, orange zest, some pineapple, nice heavy cannabis quality, a lot of pine intensity and more than a little peppery green onion/garlic, finish is quite dry and still firey with resin and oniony hop burn with lingering mango and orange, alcohol flavours quite hidden. Medium-full creamy body, softly carbonated. Aggressive stuff, wish for a touch more aromatics but it's as heavily hopped a beer as I've had off a QC shelf and very reminiscent of Wood Brothers beers circa 2020.
