Jan 2024 canning date (thanks Jak’s on Granville). 473mL can, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pure cardboard, with no hops left, yeast soup, bleh. Flavour has no hopburn, with cardboard galore, yeast soup, and unpleasant bitterness to finish. Very bad – doubt it was good fresh.

[Canned Jan 2024, poorly labeled at store] 473mL can. Pours nearly opaque yellow with a white head. Very muted citrus and yuzu on the nose. Flavour has completely dead citrus hops and chalky bitterness. Nothing terrible offensive, but not great and the hops are long deceased.

On tap at Five Roads Steveston. Cloudy pale yellow with a lingering white head leaving tight lace. Nose is bright tropical fruit, orange peel and stone fruit. Light sweet malt base supporting a big citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium with active carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. 7/4/7/4/14+

Cloudy yellowy orange body and modest foam, chewy chalky hops on the nose of no distinction. Flavour is chalky peach, vague pine notes. Dry enough, but simplistic.

Bright, like when was a kveik beer bright, right? Thin head. There’s a bit of creaminess to the body, a really sweet kiss of pale malt, and then there’s a bit of herbaceous hop in there as well. It’s okay, but very sweet and not bringing all that much hop to the table, which is a touch strange.
