Peachy colour, but appears more on the murky side due to the dullness of the colour. Not much head. The vanilla leads the aroma, followed by the peaches. The lactose, vanilla and graham crackers are more prominent on the palate, but there's still light peach.

Hazy, some alcohol, fruity, peachy, touch of citrus. A bit harsh with the alcohol but still good. Decent malt base.

Black can. Hazy and pale. Fairly big head. The aroma seems a bit overripe, but it's nice on the palate. Alcohol up front, then some pineapple hop notes, citrus overtones and a touch of pale malt.
More tastes like a muddled spice soup. Cloudy and just too busy, but not pokey. Can from bc
A hazed pinkish ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet raspberry jam with light acidity, light tropical fruits, light guava, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity raspberry jam, light acidity, light mineral notes, light woody notes, light lactic notes, very nice.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy blond colour, compact head, nice lace. The aroma is hoppy, moderately dank, some citrus peel too. Lean mouthfeel, it seems more oily and less crispy that desired; balanced bitterness, the hops have some piney quality, light dank feeling, some citrus oil, but overall it's not the fresh juicy bomb of previous iterations.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of citrus hops, pithy stone fruits, and citrus peel. Flavour is full of citrus hops, pulpy citrus, and bitter grapefruit rind. Lots of grapefruit/citrus pith, with a nice bitter finish. Above average bitterness for this series. Maybe a little astringent and certainly not as juicy as some other versions, but it's very tasty.
Pastry, Yuzu, bit of sourness but quite sweet. Surprisingly creamy

Hazy medium gold body, little foam. Peach and pastry on the nose but not too fresh and a little flat. Taste is heavy cinnamon, soft peach, lingering pastry aftertaste. Alcohol invisible. Would probably work as a dessert digestif, in those small glasses, and it's quite nice.

Cloudy pink body and modest foam. Okay pink lemonade aroma, a little detergenty. Taste is plenty of lemonade, sweet, refreshing, but minimal beer hints. A beer for those who hate beer.
