Dark brown, frothy sparkler head? I forgot to check for that. Damnit. Good body and gentle dark sugar sweetness. Just enough bitterness for balance. Pretty good mild. That bit of cask juiciness, subtly complex malts, this is good.

Opaque. Fruity-juicy hop nose. Juicy hop - stone fruit and subtropical, sort of sticky pale malt that’s cut by alcohol in the finish. Not bad - intense all round.

Amber, just a slight haze. Thick head. Nice lacing. Toasty, but lots of fruitiness, both hop and yeast but especially orchard fruit hops.

Dark brown, thick head. Soft and sweet. Just a light roast but more cocoa. Decent although a bit too sweet for my taste.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Light amber colour, bright, clean. Biscuity malt and resinous hops, with moderate sweetness, not sticky, bold bitterness, and mild fruity esters. Old school, but very clean and well executed.

473mL can, pours a clear copper amber with a medium beige head. Nose is quite laid back for the style, with resinous and piney hops, and balanced with bready malt. Flavour is also on the subtler side for the style, but reveals nice woody, dank hops, resins, some pine, and bready malt. The malt provides a bold backbone. The hops become more pronounced in the dank, resinous department with each sip. This is quite old school / west coast in style, which I'm fond of. Not excellent, but it's well-made and surprisingly easy-drinking. Very good.
