Solid IPA. Tangerine, a hint of marmalade. Grapefruit. Hazy golden pour but more west coast in vibe. Ok head. Light bitter finish with a hint of booze, hop tang. But the latter is light. Can.

473mL can, pours a mostly clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is loaded with sweet tropical fruits, overripe stone fruits, resinous hops, and caramel bready malt. Flavour is quite assertive, with big tropical fruits, resinous hops, juicy citrus, some pine, and a big caramel bready malt base. Powerfully hopped, but also very juicy, sweet and malty. Finishes with those overripe stone fruits, along with a nice balance of sweet maltiness and citrusy hops. Not exactly the bulls-eye of my IIPA taste, but undoubtedly well-made. Very good.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond color with minimal haze; medium head. Holy fruit aroma, this is nice: gooseberry, passion fruit, key lime pie. The mouthfeel is off-dry; good malt base, with some bread and toffee accent; bold bitterness, piney hops, orange peel, dry apricots; a bit too mineral in the finish, salty.
A modern IIPA, very good.
