Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Murky pale blond colour. Strong aroma, pervasive dankness. Creamy mouthfeel, this is a bit different from what I used to, from Backcountry (more creamy); off-dry, and it would pay a lot if there were some sugar here; good hop character, zesty and dank; low bitterness.
Ok.

Pale blond colour, hazy to cloudy; small head. The aroma is delicate, fruity, also floreal; some citrus. It's fairly dry, with some wheat bread, some crispy elements; a bit biased because I just ate something with garlic, but this is expressing some ood hops, tropical and citrusy, with relatively low bitterness (but can still be called in balance).
Very good.

473mL can, pours a hazy bright golden orange with a medium white head. Nose is pungently sulfuric, with lots of allium hops, earthiness, and more sulfur -- ugh, that ain't pleasant. Flavour is not much better, with sulfur, oniony hops, earthy vegetal notes, and bready malt. Way too sulfuric/farty and oniony. This has few redeeming qualities.

On tap at Steamworks - Mount Pleasant, pours an opaque dark pinkish amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out blueberry gummies, lemon, lacto and sugars. Flavour is sweet and sour, with lots of juicy blueberries, lacto, and some tart lemon. Simple juicy kettle sour, with a lemony blueberry juice finish. Too sweet and lacto-y. More fruity kettle sour nonsense for the masses.

Re-rate: Poured from the tap (this time at Darbys - no butter, so early taste must have either been a keg or line issue). Clear gold with small white head. Biscuit malt, mild citrus and feint pine hops. Much better than before, but still just an average WC IPA. July 29, 2023 (6/4/2/1/7=2.0): Poured from the tap. Clear gold with white head. Butter bomb, specially on the taste. Undrinkable drain pour.
