6.8% percent indicated on the can.
Appearance - Pours a hazy apricot with four fingers of frothy white head that leaves some puffy lace on the glass.
Smell - citrus and tropical hops, mango, citrus, orange, peach, papaya, passionfruit, pineapple, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - bold citrus and tropical hops upfront. The mango, orange, peach, papaya, passionfruit, and pineapple come through next. The bready malts and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth and sticky with the hops and tropical fruits lingering.
Overall - A bold, flavourful, and highly sessionable brew that delivers on the tropical hop and fruit front. I'm glad I finally got around to reviewing this brew as this one is one of Zero Issue's best. You won't be disappointed if you grab a can or 4 pack.

Lovely local craft IPA. Cloudy it off white delicate head that never quite disappears. Gentle bouquet, with a soft mouth feel. Definitely an IPA, but only mild hoppiness. Flavours of orange citrus.

473ml can poured into tulip 3/9/17
The first two brews I tried from these guys were solid, respectable first attempts from yet another new local.... this beer has sparked my interest in these NKOTB.
Hazed right over, the two fingers of foam never entirely falls and coats my glass with lace. Tropical juice with OJ leading the way, spruce, vitamin c chewables, the hops want too runaway with it but the malt keeps in in check. Stays on the creamy side of foam, super soft, bitter with a little grit, lingering rind......
This Juice bombs fresh as can be and up there with the best of Alberta's IPA's. These guys hit a home run right from the get go? Pay attention folks!!

20oz pint at Arcadia on 124th. No indication as to what kind of IPA this is, but I have my suspicions.
This beer appears a murky, dark apricot amber colour, with a thin cap (a trademark at this joint, and I for one am not complaining) of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some thinned out tree copse lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells prominently of orange and white grapefruit citrus flesh, gritty and grainy pale malt, a small earthy chalkiness, and further leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser cereal graininess, fresh-squeezed orange juice, bitter generic grapefruit rind, wet stone paths after the rain, some indistinct tropical fruitiness, and more leafy, piney, and gently perfumed floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid medium-heavy weight, and generally smooth, with a thin aerosol creaminess creeping in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the big citrus character continuing to make the lingering malt its bitch.
Overall, this is one proficiently rendered NE-style IPA, with the turbid look and juicyfruit boxes duly ticked, and very little to no sign of the near 15-proof alcohol. As for the bitterness quotient, it falls squarely in the middle ground - not so much so that it would put off yer gateway crowd, and just enough to satisfy this aging hophead. Great stuff.
