473ml can - a collaboration with Ontario's Collective Arts, and dry-hopped with Vic Secret and Ekuanot lupulin powder.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent gnarled tree branch lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of dank pine resin, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some muddled tropical fruitiness, and more earthy, musty, and perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some orange and mixed exotic fruity notes, a touch of earthy yeastiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and essentially smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hops pushing the lingering agenda.
Overall - this comes off as a sort of underwhelming offering, considering the two breweries involved here. It's not bad, but just doesn't deliver the oomph factor that one might have been expecting. I wouldn't turn down another, but I'm starting to feel like a third wheel right now.
