Can. Dull pale colour with some haze. Not much head. Doesn't really look attractive. The kettle sour aspect jumps out of the glass, but on the palate there's some balance with the passion fruit. It's actually a bit timid on both the sourness and the fruit, which allows the wheat character to make an impact on the palate. So it ends up a bit more mainstream than I might have preferred but still solid.

Very good foam on a light cloudy yellow body. Smells of good sweet hops, some rancid pineapple. Taste is good tart papaya, pine, chalky grain hints. Ends full and dry. Not much alcohol but nothing is lost, really nice.

Okay cloudy orange body with modest foam. Aroma is nice deep sweet orange, herbal notes coming through. Taste is mellow orange, soft chalky grain, a bit of herbal bergamot. A little too wet though. Not bad, it could come together better.

Okay hazy yellow body and little foam. Smells of soft rotting hops, lemon juice notes. Taste is nice tart pine, soft lemon zest, finishes full with nice oiliness. Not a bad hoppy pale ale.

Hazy deep yellow body, okay foam. Smells of rancid corn, slight dishrag, maybe some soft sweet hops. Taste is soft grain and corn, full finish. Okay, seems a little disjointed.

Can. The can says brewed in the park. Sort of a dark straw colour. The head started big and thick but then crapped out. The aroma is vaguely oriented towards pale malts. On the palate, it's light and clean. Very low bitterness. Not a lot of malt character either, but it's good, slightly juicy pale malts. It's okay. I can drink. Not necessarily a great use of that brewing space (the brewpub, rather than the production facility) but maybe COVID restrictions gave them capacity. Anyway, editorializing aside this hits what they were aiming for - light, clean, and mellow.

Pale brown colour, slight haze and a relatively thin head. The aroma emphasizes the coffee aspect, for sure, with a toastier accent. On the palate, yeah, mostly a simple pale ale, with a lot of coffee that lends both toastiness and probably too much acidity for my taste. I’m probably rating it on the low side, but it’s a miss for me.

Hazy, has a thin head. It’s got a fairly weedy aroma. On the palate, lots of weedy hops, a fair bit of bitterness, but also a nice fluffy sweet malt character. For me, this is a happy pocket of hazy IPA, where there’s enough malts and bitterness to make the balance work out.

Gold colour. Medium head. Mild tartness, mellow cherry. Not half bad, fairly simple in terms of character but good balance.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pale yellow, cloudy to murky, small head. It has a decent aroma of citrus fruit, but the mouthfeel is a bit too dry for my liking; luckily, it's not muddy/chalky, pretty lean for the style, with citrus hop character, and balanced bitterness.
Good.
