Poured from 473mL can. Hazed gold with small white head. Citrus and tropical hops, lightly juicy, flavour dissipates a bit on the finish, decent.

Pale amber, slight haze. Fairly thick head. Malt-first aroma shows a lot of bready sweetness, herbaceousness secondary but definitely there. Balanced bitterness and rich malt. Not the brightest, but it'�s not bad.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a medium white head — darker for a Czech pils. Aroma brings out bready malt, crusty grains, and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour is crisp and grassy, with a nice, spicy, grassy hops, and crisp crackery malt. Grassy, crisp, somewhat bitter finish. Very good.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold yellow with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a small, creamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, orange, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, earthy yeast and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, apricot, pineapple, oats, earthy yeast and pine needles in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and hoppy.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Pale blond colour, cloudy. Nice aroma, tropical fruits, almost delicate. Soft mouthfeel, a bit starchy, little residual sweetness; the hop is more vegetable than fruity, there's light hopburn.
Not an elegant, nor a clean Hazy; it's ok.

16oz shared with Alex (thx for the beer, man!) @ home. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: tropical fruits, a bit sweet. Taste: along the same lines, quite bitter in the finish, like a lot of very bitter grapefruit. Not thick enough for DIPA. Overall: just ok, too bitter for me.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond, a darker shade, hazy. The aroma is mild, but nice, with bready character. Dry and crisp mouthfeel; nice malt base, fresh breadcrust, biscuits, chewy (7+); the bitterness is decent as well, with grassy and spicy touch. Clean beer, very good.

Re-rate: Poured from 473mL can (leftover saved from beerplace/fiulijn tasting). Same rating, but not as bright - still decent, but -0.1 for mouthfeel. Okay. Mar 09, 2024 (7/3/8/4/16=3.8): Poured from the tap @ Superflux (Superflux lists it as 8% ABV on the menu?). Murky yellow with small white head. Lots of tropical hops, some grapefruit, quite nice.

Opaque, just a thin head. Bright papaya and apricot hop aroma. Juicy palate, a fair bit of sweetness up front, grapefruit and peach. The bitterness builds on the tongue quickly. A touch of chalk but mostly bright juiciness. I hope Superflux was taking notes because if they learned how to make IPA from S&O the way S&O learned how to make lager from Dageraad, that kind of knowledge transfer would benefit the craft beer scene here a lot.
