Golden amber, bright. Medium head. Quite sweet. There’s some orangey, piney hop and moderate bitterness but this is definitely too far on the sweet side for me. So they tried to put bugs in here and the bugs didn't do shit. Nice lacing, though.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with moderate white head, nice lacing. Aroma has a ton of bubblegum up front; some resin and caramel malts underneath. Flavour also has a lot of bubblegum; it's pretty distracting, but I think I can find some resin underneath. Very little carbonation or bitterness from hops. Assuming these bubblegum flavours are esters from the wild yeast, this is actually better-restrained than a good chunk of BC Belgian styles. However, as an IPA this just feels weird to me.
