Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Damon.
Can into a tulip.
Appearance: glossy transparent yellow color with a foamy white head which slid off at a nice pace and didn't leave much lace
Aroma: blueberry to danky pine hop scents, subtle passion fruit to grapefruity to orange pulpy hints, smooth crisp clean malts underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas bittersweetly danky with that catty/earthy underlying wisp of sweet onion further meshing in. No aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper, some smooth but semi-slick aspect on the tongue; finishes crisp, that catty/earthy smooth quality and a blueberry sweet accent
Overall: this is your "my-light-came-on-as-to-what-West-coast-IPA's-can-offer" beer as opposed to the hazy NEIPA's of mostly what we see today, if your light doesn't come on after this beer then go get your engine checked.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy blond colour. It blends nice fruity hops and piney character. Balanced bitterness, and mild residual sweetness.
Very solid.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have well balanced citra hop notes and a rounded maltiness. Could use more carbonation.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear brassy gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, a little tropical, and mildly roasty malt support. Med plus body. Flavor is dankish citrus/pine, mildly roasty malt and notes of tropicals. Gets a bit resinish. Pretty dry. Grapefruit zest notes. Very hoppy. Strongly bitter. Excellent.
