Very solid West Coast style IPA. Nicely hopped and nicely balanced, medium bodied with a good amount of chewiness and just a hint of zest on the swallow. I'd seek this one out again.
Note that my can says 6.8%, not 7.1%.

Best canadian beer! Centennial an Simcoe hops work together perfectly. 65 IBU is a little bit low for 7.1 ABV but the beer is very hop forward and crushing. Cheers! Canadiens are getting better every year...

Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry citrusy hoppy notes is OK. Taste is also a mix of dry citrusy notes with light bitterness, some residual sugar notes with light cereal notes also perceptible. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but hops don’t shine as much as I would expect for the style.

Look: Amber pale orange color. Lots of carbonation. Lots of bubble trying to go up but it levitate. Really nice looking beer.
Smell: Hops, herbal, pin, citrus orange, pineapple, grapefruit.
Taste: Citrus, orange peel, grapefruit, pin, herbal. pineapple
Feel: Medium body. Very light even if its a 7,1% ABV
So overall would I recommend it ? Sure so far it is the best from Archibald
