Medium macro gold body and some modest foam on top. Sweet stale cardboard aroma, slight sweet hops, macro helles smells in all their weak glory. Slight sweet taste, modest dry grain, bready, soft sugar. Dry enough, lingering sugar. Boring but crushable.

Hazy, tan, lots of brett C on the aroma, fresh nectary hops. On the palate, low bitterness, again brett, nectar, sweetness in the finish. Solid.

Clear gold with a decent white head. Grapefruit with a touch of cardboard. Pine, grapefruit and some nice malts. Old school.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish, very dark amber with beige head. Caramel malt, burnt sugar, slightly sour note. Interesting... in a bad way.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Slightly dank aroma of biscuit malt, grapefruit, pine resin and weedy hops. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, grapefruit rind, lemon, floral and pine resin in a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Even with the wheat malt and oats, I thought the body was a bit on the light side. A standard West Coast IPA.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out bitter piney hops, dusty earthy notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour follows accordingly, with a dusty earthy hop character, bitter piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. The bitterness is sharp, with quite a pronounced astringency on the finish. The dustiness in the palate is also suboptimal. It's alright but needs some work.

Bottle. Hazy, pale amber. Thin head. The aroma is a whallop of tequila barrel, boozy and sticky. On the palate, you have a sticky base beer that's getting thinned out by a bit of brett. The barrel is quite heavy on the palate as well.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; tag 26/04/21 (I guess, packaged less than 3 weeks ago)
Blond colour, slight haze. Piney hops aroma, a bit of grass, of manure, of malt. Good strength, it's fairly dry, with mild crackery and biscuity malts, bold bitterness, with herbaceous and piney character. It needs more brightness with those hops, but it's a West Coast IPA brewed in a modern fashion at least.

Can. This one's only got a slight haze to its pale amber body. Decent head on it, though. Weedy and grassy - so the good and the bad side of that coin - on the nose, along with a fairly sticky malt profile. On the palate, though, it's thin. There's some bitterness, but it's still not balanced.
