Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy golden colour. Delicate fruity aroma, tangerine, peach, pineapple. It's fairly dry, but with good body structure; pleasant malt base, almost biscuity, more West Coast than East Coast; the hoppy character is more resinous and herbaceous than fruity and juicy, and the low sweetness doesn't play in favour, hence also here more WC than EC; some pith; also some acidity.
One of the most wrong NEIPAs (aspect, malt, hop), but it's a pleasant, if maybe rough, beer.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with small white head. Fairly mild oats with some citrus and pine hops. Not very juicy as advertised. Average.
