Boundary Bay seems to have changed this into a non-hazy since the last reviews in 2022. It pours a clear amber of the darker shade with plenty of foam in the chalice. Big evergreen aroma with old orange and citrus peel. The taste is very resiny with an acidic tang in the back of the throat. Hops are very bitter on top of the spruce. Overall this is interesting and highly flavorful but only good for some careful sipping. The initial flavor is fruity and nice but the bitterness wears out the taste buds. From the 12 oz can dated 02/21/25 in an admirably clear stamp.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a hazy orange with off-white head. Sticks around for a few minutes. The nose is very tropical, but I definitely pick up the spruce as well. Pineapple, mango, weed, spruce, mint, grass, and slight citrus peel.
The taste feels somewhat muted, although I think the lower carbonation plays into this. Still really nice. Pineapple, mint, tree bark, leather, citrus peel, biscuit, and cantaloupe.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Low carbonation. Overall, a nice IPA.

Pours a dark brownish tinged orange color. Thin, weak white sudsy head forms on the beer before quickly dissipating. Some splotchy foam remains on top of the beer. Aroma has notes of mango, orange, citrus, and light piney notes.
Taste has notes of orange, mango, some biscuit malt notes, pine and an overripe melon flavor. There are some light piney notes, but it is not overly strong. Feel is medium to fuller bodied with very light carbonation giving it a somewhat heavy feel.
Oveall a solid NEIPA. I did like the usage of the spruce tips in this hazy - would not mind seeing more of that.

12oz can (dated 3/25/22) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a fully murky dark orange color with 2/3 inch of white head that had moderate retention and light lacing.
The aroma had a low grain aspect, frooty and citrusy hops, and just a hint of tree. Pretty much the same on the tongue, perhaps the frooty hops were stronger than in the nose, pushing out the citrus and spruce a bit more.
The body was the typical light and smooth of the style, with a semi-sweet finish. Drinkability was OK, and will be better if you're more of a fan of the style than I am. overall, another average mukbomb.
