16 oz. can, pours an opaque peachy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out pithy stone fruits, some dank hops, and earthiness. Flavour is muffled as all hell, with subdued earthy hops, bitter citrus zest, and plenty of hop burn. So much hop burn, faded hops, so much bitterness, and chalky palate. This is very poor. Rough, lots of burn, and a messy palate. Maybe this could've been decent fresh? But now, it's totally useless.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Murky blond colour. Mild citrus aroma. Lean mouthfeel, moderate residual sweetness, the hop has mostly a citrusy character, some organe peel, balanced bitterness, a bit of alcohol warmth.
Very good.

16oz @ Alex's shared with Ryan. Guessing it could be 4-5-6 months old based on the absence of the date on the can (later cans were dated Jul-Aug 2021). Appearance: murky pale golden with a white head. Aroma: some fruitiness, but not really much more there. Taste: juicy, fruity, some harsh bitterness. Overall: it's ok.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy bright yellow with minimal white head. Fairly muted aroma and taste with a bit of alcohol. Some mild citrus notes, but not a ton else. Probably too old (unfortunately got held up in shipping/customs apparently).
