I got a can of this beer from LBCO Store in Fort Frances, Ontario whilst there for my son's hockey showcase. It poured a clear golden with fizzy white head that dissipated quickly and did not leave much lace. The scent had subtle grain and subtle bitter citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base with grain and hints of bitter orange presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Before pouring, a very strong nose full of tropical fruit fills the atmosphere. This gets you a little too hyped up for a taste pay-off that while good, doesn't match the flavor the nose makes you anticipate. Cloudy gold to orange in the glass. Flavor ranges from pineapple and grapefruit with a touch of resin. Good but unspectacular.

Looks great, cloudy/golden/thick, nice foamy head.

Unremarkable flavour. Notes indicated on label do not really pop.

It is good, tasty for sure and I’m sure I could have a few, but not super special.

Got this from the LCBO

From a 473ml can into a pint glass

APPEARANCE: Pours a two finger, medium looking, foamy white head with good retention. Cloudy gamboge orange with lower levels of carbonation. Slowly fades to a foamy cap. A slight wisp remains leaving some foamy lacing on the glass as it empties.

SMELL: Tropical fruits. Passion fruit, pineapple, mango, melon and some grapefruit. Bold and aromatic.

TASTE: Passion fruit, melon and caramel notes with bubble gum at the swallow. Not quite as tropical as the nose. Medium finish of caramel, melon, honey, some passion fruit and light tropical notes.

PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. A touch foamy on the palate, goes down fine and things drier on the palate.

OVERALL: Okay, but not quite as tropical as the nose. Worth a can on a warm day but not something I’d run back to per se.

 

 

 

I bought a can at the LCBO in Ontario 473ml at 6.2%.
Poured a 2finger head into glass hazy orange color.
Lots of tropical fruit flavors with a medium bitterness level leaves a lace as you drink it.
A freshly squeezed vacation in a can it said on the can.
Overall a very good IPA beer.
Cheers.

 

 

 

Hazy oranged-honey under a moderate head. Settles to a film and gives up enough lace. I'm afraid this one is a bust overall. Very weak aroma and flat flavour. Only a very slight tingle to an otherwise watery mouthfeel. Very subdued, quite unremarkable.

 

Look: Dark yellow orange colour (Tax and Beer guy hit it on the head calling it Honey coloured), with a one finger head. The head has poor retention, leaving a decent lace after 5 minutes.

Smell: Muted pine and citrus smells. Definate bready malt character.

Taste: It has a sharp grapefruitiness, but doesn't deliver the other orange citrus flavours I'd tend to associate with a Juicy IPA. It has a very white cracker backbone, with hints of lemon in the mix. Pine resin flavours from mid sip onwards.

Feel: Medium body leaning towards strong. Slightly syrupy. One of the beers strongest points.

A good IPA, not the juice bomb I tend to hope for when somethings branded as Juicy, but a decent B grade sipper. Will I look for it again, no.....would I be OK with having another, yep.
