Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 30/01/24, just 2 weeks old
Did they can this multiple times, and also bottle it? there seem to be different incarnations. Golden colour, clean, with medium head. Aroma of sugar, berries, jam. Solid malt base, a bit biscuity, with light residual sweetness; the hop gives piney resins and mild berry character; pleasant biscuity character in the finish.
A bit old school, but not bad.

650 ml bottle. Pours a bright copper color with light head. Aromas of spicy wine gums, orange peel, and rye bread. Flavors of same. Sharp with a hard to describe finish; maybe bitter orange peel and plastic.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, some resins, bready malt, and a touch of orange zest. Flavour is sweet and faintly hoppy — probably too old — with resinous and earthy hops, bready malt, toasted caramel, and orange marmalade. This may have been much better a few months ago. Rather washed out and lacking hops as of now.
