Can. Poured a golden color with a medium sized head. Aroma was light earthy notes, some pine, with some light earthy notes. Pleasant juicy notes.

Lots of sharp grapefruit. Pine. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter ass finish. Was hoping for more from this west Coaster from these guys but doesn't live up to their classics.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, floral, earthy yeast and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, orange, grapefruit peel, earthy yeast, peach, passion fruit and floral in a dry, bitter, pine resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Enjoyable, but not as good as Fat Tug or Raised By Wolves.

A golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light cereals, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light dank notes, pleasant and smooth. On tap at brewery.

Hazy, pale. A bit of a thin head. It's got some burnt butter in there. Yikes. Aside from that, there's some bitterness and a touch of fruit from the hops. But not an ideal showcase.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, hazy. Aroma of hops, piney and floral, some foot. Bone dry, with crisp malt base; strong hopping, some pithy bitterness, there are piney resins, but it could definitively be also a bit more fruity.
A good IPL, not very elegant, but vibrant.

Hazy gold, light tropical nose. Odd early uncoordinated bitterness, not much else
