Surprisingly well made low alc IPA from canada. Nice foam head, good carbonation, enough hops and bitterness to please. Aftertaste is a bit thin but that´s for the ABV

I got this can out of a holaday pack from the Beau's Brewery at the lcbo in Ontario.
473ml only 4.0%.
poured a 2finger head into glass smell tropical fruits.
taste was citrus lemony and pine very light beer easy drinking with medium bitterness with some grapefruits
overall a very good very light IPA beer only 4% could probably suck back 3 on a hot summers day .
cheers.

L: Translucent straw yellow, a lot of head and bubbles, pour carefully or there will be too much.
S: A floral earthy aroma with hints of lemon and coriander, grass, and a touch of pine.
T; Taste is pretty big and in your face but I don't really like the flavour profile. The flavour is similar to the smell. It's sharp astringent, peppery, and a bit chemically. It has a lingering unpleasant bitter aftertaste.
F: Light and fluffy mouth feel, very dry.
O: I didn't really enjoy this beer, maybe it is the age of the can? I'll pass on trying it again anytime soon. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like very bitter IPAs.

Look: Pale hazy yellow, Plenty of carbonation. Huge two finger white head with outstanding retention.
Smell: Sweet pine. Smells like a June in the forest...and no blackflies. Slight hint of tangerine.
Taste: Citrus and pine, the hops and malt is well balanced.
Feel: Plays high on the palate. Crisp and bubbly.
A great summer sipper. If your are looking for a well balanced session IPA, this is well worth a try. I give this beer a very solid B+

Hazy pale gold with a strong head and lacing. Strong citrus hop nose. Light-medium malt body with a strong hop finish. High carbonation. Decent!

Pours hazy straw with a crackly, quickly dissipating head. Floral, citrusy, rye notes in the nose. Tropical citrusy hops, with some piney bitterness and bready malts in the taste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with prickly, active carbonation. Moderate bitterness and a bit of malt sweetness in the finish.
A decent session IPA but the hop profile is a bit coarse and one dimensional. Still worth a try.

Pours hazy deep gold with minimal head leaves minimal lacing. The hopping rather overpowered the malts. The balance is problematic and the bitterness not appealing.

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for about $3.25 CDN. Btach 8267 and canned April 26, 2019.
Appearance - fairly hazy rich golden golden color capped with a finger of brilliant white head. Pretty good retention and sparse lacing left behind. Plenty of visible carbonation.
Smell - Lots of hops, half orange and grapefruit and half overripe mango and papaya. Nice tropical twist and good intensity.
Taste - Lots of hops again, lemon and grapefruit stick out for me, but there might be passionfruit in there too. Finishes more earthy and floral bitter and almost weedy. Some peppery qualities too - namely green pepper.
Mouthfeel - Fairly thin, quite dry and carbonation is spritzy.
Overall - One of the better session IPA's out there - the style still doesn't really do anything for me, although I would enjoy this again, particularly on a warm spring or summer day (like today)

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Apr 1 2019 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear, pale golden-yellow colour, sporting more than an inch of puffy, sparkling white head. It recedes slowly but surely over the next five minutes, splattering the glass with an uneven coat of webbed lace in the process; a lumpy cap of foam remains in place for considerably longer. Grainy pale malts and wheat husks come through on the nose, alongside subtle hints of floral, earthy hops, lemon rind and gooseberry.
Mildly flavoured, even for a session IPA, but that at least gives the malts a chance to strut their stuff at the front end of the sip. It starts off grainy and a little doughy, with citrusy hints of pithy grapefruit following soon thereafter; the profile drifts more towards the floral, earthy, bitter side of the spectrum towards the finish, yet the aftertaste is comparatively subdued, with suggestions of lemon rind and gooseberry. Light in body, with carbonation that is aggressive at first, but exhausts itself quickly, causing the mouthfeel to start off crisp, but finish smooth & soft. Easy to toss back.
Final Grade: 3.72, a passable B grade. Beau's Good Time made for a decent quaff, but I wouldn't say it's much better than most of the other Ontario-made session IPAs on the shelves these days. Truth be told, I have little use for these light IPAs to begin with, yet I can think of at least a couple of readily available alternatives I'd pick well before this one (e.g. GLB's Sunnyside, or Side Launch's Session 7). Fine to try at least once, but not something I expect to be returning to with much regularity.
