Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Gushing, I haven't had a gushing IPA in years. Blond colour, hazy. Piney hops aroma. The body is bold, even if there is little sweetness; the malt is soft, bready; the hopping is piney, but with some pith in the finish, maybe a bit stale. A bit clumsy, but it's a modern approach, and in the end it's drinkable. Unfortunately I checked the date only afterwards, to find out that this was from February; I thought this was new on the shelf, and I'm surprised that The Gull acquired some old shite.
