Pours a hazy light orange with fine, soapy head.

Smell is slightly tart with notes of peach, tea, nectarine and honey.

Taste is peachy and slightly tart, with notes of peach skin, nectarine and green tea, with a mild bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a nice... IPA, I guess, even though it drinks like a cross between a pale ale and sour with peaches.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a yellowish-brown color and a thick, viscous consistency. Lots of floaties. There was a thin, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not whole lot of lacing.

S: A very nice aroma of peaches, hops, citrus fruit, malt, and tropical fruit.

T: Tasted of a little bit of malt (mostly in the finish), some citrus fruit notes (lemon, in particular), lots of peaches (a strong element), moderate hops, and a little tropical fruit (mango). This is a sweet and effervescent flavor. They seem to have put a ton of peaches in it, which dominates the taste, but it's still pretty tasty.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a lively finish. Light- to medium-bodied.

O: A solidly made, easy to drink IPA. Worth a try.

This is probably my new favorite NE IPA. Hits all my marks. Looks great - Hazy creamy view. Smells like citrus peaches hops. Tastes like it smells - fruity and juicy. Mouthfeel is full and juicy. Not sure why ratings are so low - I think this beer rates higher than current ratings indicate.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Aug 24 2018 and served slightly chilled. This is the last of several cans that I bought in early September.

Pours turbid and hazy, with a golden apricot-hued body that is initially graced with one finger of soapy white head. It lasts for the better part of five minutes, steadily receding down to a smooth, creamy cap surrounded by a wide collar of foam. Can't say it's not attractive. Its aroma is largely fruit-dominated, as one might reasonably expect - I'm getting peach juice, grapefruit and cantaloupe, with lesser hints of lime and OJ. That does read as rather appetizing, but honestly it's all a bit too subdued and diluted to really get me excited for the first sip.

No. 6 is a decent IPA, though the peach is a bit of a tastebud hog, for lack of a better term. Normally I'd be fine with that, but it's not just the ripe flesh (or even the underripe tartness) that comes through here. I do get some of that sweet, ripe fruit and juiciness, but there's also a lot of pit, which distracts from what would otherwise be a perfectly acceptable finish of pithy red grapefruit and lightly floral, resiny hop bitterness. Peach juice and pit linger briefly into the aftertaste, the latter lending a touch of astringency. Medium in body, with light carbonation levels that provide some much-needed zip to this brew's smooth, thick, juicy texture. Pretty easy to drink; the 6.7% is totally masked.

Final Grade: 3.81, a respectable B+. As I finished off what was most likely my last glass of IPA No. 6, the main thought rattling around in my skull was that it just wasn't as good as the other numbered Collective Arts IPAs - a common opinion, it seems. That's not to say I disliked the beer... in fact I enjoyed my can(s), more or less, which is why I've still given it a solid grade. Worth a tick at least, but in the near term you'd be saving money (and getting a better beer) if you just stuck with their mainline IPAs, like Life in the Clouds or Ransack.
