Flight at brewery. Pours clear light gold. Aroma has pine and resin. Flavour is fairly dry; pine, light malts. Light oily mouthfeel. Decent, but pretty ham-fisted.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, like the light of the sun, sightly hazy. Mild piney aroma. Dry mouthfeel, the malt base is bready, strong bitterness, with pine resins, and some pith in the finish.
More bitter than the average 2024 IPA, modern in concept (blond, dry…), good overall, but not particularly vibrant, bright.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold yellow with plenty of floaties and a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, orange, mango, peach and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, grapefruit, pineapple, alcohol and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. Not bad.

473ml can. Pours a crystal clear straw yellow with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that laces. Faint aroma of pale malt, peach and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, peach and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart Lacto finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Too timid and one-dimensional. Just ok.

12 oz can from Vancouver, BC. Thanks, Marco! Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a bright white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Sweet pale malt aroma. Sweet pale malt flavor to match the nose. Super clean and smooth, and super repeatable. Really refreshing. Medium-light body. Light, fine carbonation. Not bitter.

On tap at brewery. Pours opaque yellow. Aroma has light citrus and some funk. Flavour is mainly overripe oranges and mango. A bit cloying. Not bad, not great.
