Golden and cloudy with very little carbonation, and topped with 2 fingers of white head.
Light pineapple, pears and peaches.
Taste of an amazing burst of fresh hops, citrus and tropical, but so different from anything I've had before! Slightly nutty as well.
Medium body, moderate carbonation, and a dry, tannic finish.
Excellent session ale! Full of fresh hop flavours, showcasing Ontario grown hops. Drinking by lake Muskoka, Nov 30th, 2017.

I bought a can of this from Brantford whilst in Canada for my son's hockey tournament. It poured a clear copper with thin white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of citrus. The taste is nicely balanced and easy to drink. There is some citrus peel. The Mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer.

Golden, light smell of citrus. Light citrus comes through in the taste with a bite of hops, which lingers in slight bitterness. Good pale ale, the citrus is refreshing and the hops a definite but not overbearing bite.

Hazed golden orange colour, one finger of white head and some lace. Smell is hoppy with a mix of citrus and earthy hops, a bit muddy as the hop profile comes across very generic, light malty sweetness. Taste starts off with a moderate bitterness that lingers throughout, some fruity hops but like the nose is very generic, earthy flavours into the finish. Medium carbonation, dryish medium body. Very uninteresting and seems unnecessarily bitter, still fairly drinkable.

473 ml can served fairly cold into a pint glass. Purchased from the LCBO for just under $3 CDN.
Appearance - dark golden color, sort of an amber hue. A thin half finger of head is poured and reason top for a short duration. Not much in the way of lacing and carbonation is average.
Smell - clean and grainy with a bit of a soapy smell, bubblegum and traces of rye and pine.
Taste - soft grains, tea like characteristics. A slightly sweet vanilla and bubblegum combo. Easy to drink but lacking a more intense happiness that is the rage these days. Pretty respectable nonetheless but not super interesting,
Mouthfeel - soft carbonation, light watery body. A drying finish. Unremarkable.
Overall - worth a try and an easy drinking APA, but not super exciting. A good beer for a weekend at the cottage.

Pretty unremarkable brew. Looks decent enough, but ordinary on the nose and palate. Hoppy and dry, but not exciting hoppy, just functionally hoppy. Easy to drink, but unexciting. Surprisingly dry in character. Drinkable, but not one I'd work to chase down again.

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry citrusy hops notes is enjoyable enough. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops with light bitter notes with a dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Not bad but more bitterness then I would expect for the style.
