I bought a can at the LCBO in Ontario 473ml at 5.5%.
Poured into glass with 2 finger head that lasted all the way through leaving a lace as you drink it.
Very we'll balanced with flavors of tropical fruit and citrus not overpowering with flavor just the right amount its perfect.
Overall this beer is very easy and enjoyable to drink also refreshing.
I would definitely buy this again.
Cheers

Heavier on the malt side than I expected. Drinks closer to a British PA. Hoppy and malty. Soft overall. Gentle bitter finish. Yeah, noticeable mineral character. Passable, but unremarkable.

Appearance: It has a nice deep hazy golden/orange color to it. It has a nice thick off-white head that dies down moderately slow and leaves some nice lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of light citrus, floral hops, bready malts and an off-putting metallic smell I can't quite describe. It must have something to do with the minerals in the water.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has light citrus, some floral hops, a light grassiness, some bready malts and some metallic notes.

Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a decent overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a smooth drinkable beer accompanied by somewhat bland flavors and aromas. I think this could be a decent beer but those metallic notes just ruin it for me.
