Hazy, not much head. Dullish pale. Soft body, nice bright stone fruit, pineapple hop notes…don’t get Belma beer as often as I’d like; it’s a fine hop.

Pale, with just a slight haze. Has a harsh bitterness that smacks of too much alcohol. It’s dominating the beer, crushing the tropical fruit hop notes.

A hazed golden amber ipa with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light cereals, pleasant. In mouth, biscuit malt with harsh herbal piney hops, grapefruit, a bit unbalanced.

Deep amber colour with just a touch of haze, so it definitely has that west coast sort of SNPA-ish classic look. Medium head. Chewy amber malts, with a bit of oxidation and cheesy hop sort of nose. Super chewy on the palate. Lots of bitterness, but it's totally cheesy, These hops aren't fresh enough, and the malts are very chewy. Tough to drink this.

Reasonably good brownish clear copper body and modest foam, smooth bright hops on the nose with just a hint of malt. Flavour is a good balance between hop and malt, both present. Mouthfeel is a little thin for this kind of beer, could be fuller. Nice though, reasonably well made, solid.

Deep Gold body with modest head, sweet vegetal hops on the nose with what seems to be some spiciness, earthiness, orange zest maybe. Flavour is a deep sweet caramel orange mix. Crisp on the mouth, good oiliness. An odd mix, not bright at all for an IPA but still drinkable.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; canned 110419, 2 months old
Hazy light amber colour with compact head. Mild aroma of crystal malt and apricot; bread. Lean mouthfeel with light residual sweetness; mild bready malt base, a bit husky; candied orange from the hop.
Old style, but not too oppressive; the hops are not very bright. Pleasant,

On tap at Citizen, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out sticky resinous hops upfront, with pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour brings out earthy, piney hops upfront, with some vegetal notes, and biscuity malt. A bit too vegetal, but it's dry and easy. Needs work.

On tap at Citizen, pours a cloudy bright amber pink with a medium, cascading off-white head. Aroma brings out gentle blueberries, followed by lactose, and lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with bright blueberries, sweet lactose, and lacto. Creamy and fun, but not an elegant beer.
