Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy blond colour, pale but bright, with small, compact head. Interesting aroma, zesty and weedy, pungent. Soft mouthfeel, some cream from the oats; unfortunately, like most beers in the style, not enough malt flavour to build on; fruity hops, but the low residual sweetness means that the fruity character of the hops doesn't shine; mostly, orange juice, and some dankness; low bitterness.
Above average, but not fully achieved. Good.

Can, 0.473l, courtesy of CanCrusher. Aroma of pungent passion fruit, citrus, pineapple and resin. Pours hazy pale golden color with large soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy tropical fruity and citrusy, following is herbal, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is dry and heavy bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Not really deadly…

Poured from 473mL can. Clear gold with small white head. Quite oily, citrus and light pine hops, mild biscuit malt, big aroma when the can was opened. Decent.

473 ml can. Pours amber with light foamy head. Aromas of tropical fruit leaning towards pineapple, pine resin, and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on resin; plus a little bitter citrus. Good.
