Golden with a light haziness and an extraordinarily high amount of tornado like carbonation. Topped with 2 fingers of white head.
Smells of peaches and mild oranges, a light and floral aroma.
Tastes amazingly strong in the flavours, but very light and refreshing. Pineapple and peach soft candies, gummy and kids candy.
Light body, with a moderate amount of carbonation.
Delicious brew! Got in Southern Ontario, and drinking it at Muskoka, Dec 9th, 2017.

Pours transparent pale gold with a tall fluffy white head. Tons of lacing as I empty the glass. Aroma of light floral & metallic lager. Taste doesn't offer much in the way of hops; there's a touch of citrus/floral/grassiness, and a dominant sweet bready malt character, but also some metallic lager-like flavour. No hop or bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is the best aspect of this beer as it is full and very smooth; coats the tongue nicely. This might be a good beer for someone who doesn't like a lot of hops but wants a decently crafted, easy drinking beer which offers more flavour than a macrobrew.

A-Copper orange with a white head
S-More on the dank side with earth herbal notes and grassy tones
M-Mouthfeel is light and watery with carbonation at a medium level
T-Bitter upfront but not overpowering. Quite dry and doesn't really have any malt flavour
O-I'll give it points for being a wet hop beer which is difficult to achieve correctly, but otherwise lacklustre

I'm glad this is now in 473ml cans, as the larger-format bottle seemed like a bit of a rip-off. Unfortunately, this is a rather underwhelming beer. For all the talk of fresh local hops, I get much less of the juicy fresh hop aroma I was hoping for from this than I did from the can of Naughty Neighbour I finished right before.

Impressive hop menu here yielding less than satisfying taste results. Found this beer to be crisp and super fresh, but has more of a floral presence rather than a piney one. Non-IPA lovers may find this more enjoyable. Bottled from LCBO.
