7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Oakes, stamped 08-03-2024; I think that's a best before date, oops, my bad, forgot Oakes said to just drink it after leaving it at my place many months ago - was going to take the age into consideration when rating it, but I actually think it's held up decently for its age). Clear blonde gold with white head. Light floral hopping with some citrus hints and a clean malt, everything blends together, quite well constructed. Surprisingly good.

Brown, fast fading tan head. Nice roasty malt nose. Similar much subdued palate. Sweet notes with light brief bitterness. Possibly a schwarzbier?

473mL can. Pours almost clear gold with white head. Aroma has sweet malts, pine, and resin. Flavour has woody pine, sticky resin, and sweet malts. Could be more aggressive, but otherwise nice balance between malts and hops. Nice.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 23/08/24, less than 3 weeks old
Beautiful golden colour, bright, with light haze. Mild aroma, biscuits, baked goods, caramel, light pine. Lean mouthfeel, quite dry; the malt profile goes in the bread direction (but somehow, stale bread); the bitterness is on par with expectations, but without strong vibes, just some piney resin, and some herbaceous character. Ok.

473 ml can. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of dank hops with spicy resin, fruity stoned fruit, and biscuity malts. Flavors of resinous pine, candied citrus, stoned fruit and soft toasty malts. Nice fruity West Coast IPA.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

473mL can, pours a mostly clear golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out resinous hops, light pine, and sweet caramel malt. Flavour has a nice resinous hop character upfront, bitter pine, and sweet caramel malt to back. But the bitterness overrides the malt nicely, leaving a nicely bitter, resinous hop finish. Very good.

Golden amber, bright. Medium head. Quite sweet. There’s some orangey, piney hop and moderate bitterness but this is definitely too far on the sweet side for me. So they tried to put bugs in here and the bugs didn't do shit. Nice lacing, though.

473mL can. Pours clear yellow with small white head. Aroma has sweet biscuity malts, white wine, grass. Flavour has biscuit malts and a fairly muted hop expression, grass is more stringent, still a bit of berry tanginess. Decent carbonation. Not bad, but needs a bit of work.

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5

473mL can. Pours clear gold with moderate white head, nice lacing. Aroma has a ton of bubblegum up front; some resin and caramel malts underneath. Flavour also has a lot of bubblegum; it's pretty distracting, but I think I can find some resin underneath. Very little carbonation or bitterness from hops. Assuming these bubblegum flavours are esters from the wild yeast, this is actually better-restrained than a good chunk of BC Belgian styles. However, as an IPA this just feels weird to me.

Vibrant, opaque colour. Thick head. Aroma has lychee, pomelo and cannabis. The body is relatively light, bitterness moderate and the hops aren’t as bright on the palate either. The aroma seems to overpromise and the palate underdelivers. It’s not bad or anything but just would prefer more hop bite.
