On tap at FHF 2024, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dry, with soft floral hops, biscuity malt, and a touch of pine. Flavour is dry and soft, with piney hops, biscuity malt, and some toasted grains. Piney and crisp malty finish. Good.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, tangerine, peach, cantaloupe and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit peel, peach, cantaloupe and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not sure I'd call this a west coast, but still a solid IPA.

473mL can. Pours opaque yellow with small white head. Aroma has mango and coconut. Flavour juicy with mango and coconut notes; restrained bitterness. Lingering alcohol on the palate. Not the worst hazy out there.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond colour. Nice aroma, expressive, tropical, coconut. Lean, off dry, a bit starchy, not getting particular vibes from the malt base; lots of hops, some fruit, but also hopburn. Just for Hazy-heads ™

Hazy, no head. Leeks, mild bitterness, creamy pale malt and some alcohol. Mostly just okay.

16oz shared with Alex (thx for the beer, man!) in Golden Ears on Alouette campground. Appearance: hazy straw with a white head. Aroma: tropical fruits, sweetness, a bit of floral notes. Taste: along the same lines, dry, a lot of tropical fruits. Overall: a bit too dry, probably, but quite interesting and unique.
