Very good foam on a cloudy yellow body. Licorice aroma, maybe soft vanilla and orange zest. Taste is soft licorice and orange zest, unique though a little subdued. Very nice crispness and oiliness. Clean, well crafted, enjoyable.

Pale and quite opaque. Fairly thick head. The aroma is nice and bright, fairly floral and tropical. On the palate, quite a bit of bitterness, still some juiciness, and the malts are decently sweet. It's actually pretty intense, though maybe the bitterness and slight oniony note in the finish aren't ideal.

16oz shared with Andrey and Alex in Golden Ears. Appearance: murky blonde with a white head. Aroma: floral, stone fruits, juicy, a bit sour and sweet. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: decent stuff.

Gold Creek Campground, can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond colour. The aroma is lightly floral. I'm not getting much from the malt, the hopping is mildly resinous and citrusy. A bit dirty in the finish. Ok.

473mL can, pours an opaque cloudy, murky orange with a medium white head. Aroma reveals an odd floral hop character, with a touch of vanilla, oranges and earthiness. Flavour is likewise unusual, with orange and vanilla upfront, citrusy floral hops, and earthy notes. That's certainly a unique hop expression. Not sure I'm sold on it, but it's decently made.
