473mL can, a little over 2 months old, pours a hazy golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, light resins, a bit of juicy stone fruits, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is both juicy and bitter, with lots of bitter citrus zest, piney hops, juicy tropical stone fruits, and a crisp biscuity malt underlay. I like that juicy stone fruit character that blends with the bitter citrus and piney hopping. Very good.

473mL can, pours a clear golden (how is this a hazy?) with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical stone fruits, a little pine, citrus hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and fruity, with lots of citrus hops, bubblegum, tropical stone fruit, and gently crisp on the malt. Almost tart, citrusy, fruity and bright—this really doesn't seem like a hazy. Bizarre, but not terrible. Decent.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish blonde with white head. Light citrus zest and pine notes, good balance. Enjoyable.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, almost clean, with medium sized head. Nice aroma, citrus peel and pine. Dry mouthfeel, delicate base with just light accents of wheat bread, of malt, then followed by different hop elements, including gentle piney resins, zesty citrus, light weed; it's quite mineral too; the bitterness is balanced, not too low. Atypical Hazy, as such, really excellent.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy orangey salmon pink with small white head. Strawberry, touch of lactose, mild tartness. Okay.

Poured from 355mL can. Clear-ish blonde with small white head. Some nice vinous white wine notes on the aroma, slightly floral, flavour doesn't quite shine as much on the taste, slightly watery, but not bad.

Poured from 473mL can. Near black with full light tan head. Lots of coffee on the nose. Some nice roast malt, with mild chocolate notes. Finish dissipates a little quickly, but otherwise quite a nice stout.

Pale yellow, clear, medium head. Faint lemony aroma. Dry mouthfeel, very light malt, maybe there is some white bread; the bitterness level is ok, balanced, with some grassy/herbaceous note.
Pleasant, and marginally better than the New Zealand version, but it's weaker than expected.

Blond colour, slight haze. The aroma is mildly vinous; I'm all for low ABV but tasty beers, but this one is just weak, with watered down flavour, maybe it needs some more yeast character and more hopping.
It's flawless and pleasant.

Pale yellow, clear, medium head. Faint lemony aroma. Dry mouthfeel, very light malt, maybe there is some white bread; the bitterness level is ok, balanced, but without the herbaceous/grassy notes of the Australian version, and as such this version is even more boring.
