Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy to cloudy blond colour. Aroma of white grapes, light citrus. Strangely undercarbonated, which has a negative impact on the mouthfeel; boring malt base, with some of the usual starchy grains; the hop is muted, there's some sweet orange, and a touch of acidity. It tastes as if it were old (but it shouldn't); sub-par, for Small Gods.

Luminescent pale, thin head. Lychee and stone fruit hop. Pale malt base, suits the hop character well. Moderate bitterness but it seems balanced, I guess because there'�s this splash of orangey hop expression.
