473 mL can from the LCBO; I don't see a packaging date. Served barely chilled. The label mentions that this was (originally?) a collaboration between Market and Cascade Brewing, out in Oregon. Sadly, Cascade abruptly closed its doors a few months ago, so whatever partnership they had is now defunct.
Pours a hazy golden-yellow colour, topped with one finger of bubbly, foamy white head that collapses within a couple of minutes. It leaves behind an attractive ring of wavering lace, with a tight collar and filmy cap surviving upon the surface. The aroma is inviting, including fruity notes of peach, mandarin orange, lemon and cantaloupe, as well as suggestions of grapefruit and floral, somewhat spicy hops.
It's tasty enough - flavours of lemon are prominent, with notes of grapefruit, cantaloupe and underripe peach also coming through, supported by grainy malts and wheat sweetness. Finishes pithy, with a brief flash of passion fruit giving way to a floral, spicy hop bitterness that doesn't linger. Medium in body, with moderate carbonation that gently prickles the surface of the palate; feels smooth and a little fluffy in the mouth. I found this pretty drinkable, and actually rather refreshing for the style, but I wouldn't call it memorable.
Final Grade: 3.76, barely earning a B+. Market's Roam IPA ain't half bad, but at the end of the day there are a LOT of hazy IPAs fighting for shelf space, and this one doesn't really do anything to rise above the rest of the pack. I've always been partial to Centennial hops, so that definitely helps its position/grade - I would probably buy this on a semi-regular basis if it were available in my area, but I don't see myself going out of my way for more. Worth a shot, but don't expect your juice receptors to get much of a workout.

Look: Semi hazy, bright medium shade of yellow. Pours with a finger of tightly bubbled white head. The head is gone leaving light lacing at 5 minutes.
Smell: Pine and straw notes. Some lemon and a strange acetone like sharpness hiding in the back.
Taste: Lemons and pepper. Definately pale malt middle and backbone, like soda crackers or light wheat bread. Very tiny hints of what one would call juiciness'. This is billed as a "Hazy IPA" which leaves me expecting traditional NEIPA juciy citrus flavouring, which is noticeably absent.
Feel: Lightly bodied, with a medium carbonation. The beer plays on the sides of your cheeks but doesn't do much for the tongue or palate.
So it's not very hazy, definately not juicy. It reminds me of generic middle of the road west coast IPA's from 10 years ago. It's not awful, but the Ontario craft beer market has so much to offer by way of hazy IPA's. Nothing here that makes me want ot take another sip. It earns a C+

I bought a can at the lcbo in Ontario 473ml at 6.5%ALC/VOL
poured into glass with 2finger hazy golden color head creamy light smooth lemons smell and the taste is like orange creamy pine and grapefruits sipping on it i would say it's a full bodied beer.
at 6.5 % you can definitely feel the alcohol in the beer
medium bitterness.
overall a zesty hazy IPA beer .
cheers.

473 ml can served cold into a tulip. LCBO purchase for about $3.75 CDN.
Appearance - Ruddy golden color with a finger plus of white head and average staying power. A little bit of lace clings to the glass.
Smell - CItrusy, mostly lemon with grapefruit subtleties. Not terribly intense.
Taste - CItrus, lemon and grapefruit again. Grainy malt backbone, Had two cans, one has a spiciness that lingers beyond it's welcome, the other this was notably muted nearly absent.
Mouthfeel - The spiciness on the aftertaste detracts here, but otherwise, medium-full bodied and expressive carbonation.
Overall - Ok NEIPA, but many better examples exist. Not terribly juicy, aromatic or citrusy with are staples of the style.

Been awhile since I have tried one from the market. This one pours fairly clear for a hazy. Pilsner gold semi with ok collar here. Nose is weak for this brewery of light fruits and malt. Taste is crisp and clean. Nice for the summer as it is refreshing but not a stellar IPA
