June 16, 2025 (5/3/3/3/7=2.1): Poured from the tap @ Townsite (filled out my flight - figured I'd give it one more try in case my Mar 2022 try had dirty lines; spoiler: nope!). Opaque pale blonde with small white head. Grassy hops, mild dry astringent apple note permeates, something definitely off here.

March 08, 2022 (5/3/5/3/11=2.7): Poured from the tap. Hazy orange gold with small white head. Caramel malt, floral berry, touch of wet cardboard, hint of alcohol.

Medium head. More of a trub look but it was the end of the keg. There’s alcohol up front, really a lack of malt base…it’s thin. Bittering comes across lower than expected, especially given low residual sugars. Light fruity hop aromatics. Sort of on style, but certainly not hitting the high notes I’d want, and lacks the right sense of balance.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy dark blond colour, creamy head. Aroma of ripe fruit, including strawberries, sugar, alcohol. Dry mouthfeel, the malt/oats base is not impressive, the hopping is not bright, there is just some harsh resin and pithy bitterness. It tastes like old beer.
Low tier within the category, not very pleasant.

Pours with big foamy head and a deep murky bright orange body. Nice bright piney licorice aroma, a little soft though. Flavour is plenty of sweet licorice, slight pine. A little wet but ends refreshing. Not bad, a mellow yet tangy approach to the style.
