Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, cloudy to murky. Nice arom aof citrusy hops. Good body strength, bit of cereals and malt flavour, moderate citrusy hops, with a touch of pine; balanced bitterness; the chalkiness (oats) is very light, luckily.
Pretty enjoyable.

Dull murky sort of appearance. I mean there's a nice head on it, but the body isn't appetizing in the least. The usual tropical and citrus hop notes on the aroma. On the palate, it's got some body, but the malt character isn't much to speak of. That's a shame because there's some lively coniferous and citrusy hop notes, like bright and happy versions of classic C-hops. So the oat thing is messy, but those local cascades are fine. IIRC this isn't the first Myrtle Meadows fresh hop beer that's had a really good hop character - the current EOTM at Brassneck uses their Chinooks and has a similarly impressive take on the classic C hops

Can, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright pine cones upfront, with doughy malt and bready notes. Flavour is full of fresh piney hops, doughy malt, and crisp biscuity malt. Fresh piney hops do well on this one -- surprising since they are Cascade. Very solid stuff.

Hazy yellow with a decent white head. Light creamy citrus. Soft citrus, light peel and a creamy note.
