473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out the champagne yeast upfront, having dried out much of the hops, with a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is crisp and dry, with a nice dry piney hop character, effervescent champagne yeast, and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp, clean and makes nice use of the yeast. Very good.

Can. Pours clear yellow. Aroma is soapy hops, citrus. Body is medium, strongly hoppy and bitterness, lively carbonation. Clearly an IPA, but a weird one, and I get why it's called unicorn. Good.

Passionfruit, citrus and salty notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet passion, salty and a juicy pulpy finish. If the finish was a bit lighter this would be great.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Sunny blond colour, just hazy, with generous head, persistent. The aroma is delicate, malt, bread, very light smell of summer fields. The mouthfeel is rather dry but also smooth, with pleasant multitude of microbubbles; delicate malt flavour; the fermentation method seems to highlight some Riesling quality and creates a light mineral feeling; the bitterness is balanced and the hop has moderate herbaceous qualities.
I'm not sold on the Brut IPA concept, but this one is technically unquestionable. Clean, delicate, surgical. Very good.

355ml can, donated to the cause by my workplace. Has a somewhat heavily carbonated light orange clear copper body with modest foam on top, smells of burnt rubber and orange candies from your grandmother's living room porcelain goody box. Flavour is a hoppy affair with just a boost of malts on the back end to make some juicy crispness. A little too hoppy nonetheless, but an okay drinker.

Can, found.... somewhere. Has a nice yellow body, modest carbonation, small foam on top of medium density. Aroma is nice hops balanced between sweet and vegetable. Flavour is quite a nice sweet hops mix with some dough on the back side. Filling finish, good mouthfeel balance. A solid beer.

473 ml can. Pours a pale gold with moderate head. Aromas of candied citrus, wine gums and light dry malts. Flavors of a sweet fruity lager with a bit of northwest hops. Clean. Easy to drink for the ABV.

473mL can, pours a cloudy holden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of salt, passionfruit and tart wheat. Flavour is along the same lines, with fresh passionfruit, salt, and tart wheat. Wonderful salt and passionfruit blending harmoniously. This is surprisingly excellent.
