Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 7.3% ABV
Pale blond, hazy, overcarbonated, with very large frothy head. The aroma is fruity, fresh grapes, tropical fruit (passionfruit, guava...). The mouthfeel is dry and highly carbonated; bready malt base, better than the average Hazy; bold bitterness, orange peel, lemon peel, grapefruit, touch of tropical.
I have the feeling that there has been a refermentation in the can, which introduced more carbonation, and Bretty bitterness; but overall the result seems even superior to what it could have been.
