Miles says it tastes like somebody is squeezing overripe mangoes and peaches all over your face.
Brewed with a base of German Pilsner malt, flaked wheat, and Golden Promise, with sucrose added to the boil to boost the abv. Hopped judiciously in hopback with Galaxy and Comet.
We fermented Space Words with a blend of juice-forward hazy yeasts, as well as a unique nectar specialist yeast Metschnikowia reukaufii. This yeast was initially harvested from flowers in the Berkeley Hills of California, and is thought to have evolved to make flowers smell better for pollinators by altering nectar compounds like glycosides 🤓.
Super aggressively quadruple dry hopped with Galaxy, Eclipse, and a small amount of Comet (I’m not gonna lie, that was mostly for the name).
By far our juiciest, boldest, hoppiest beer to date (and probably our most expensive beer to make tbh, don’t tell Mark). Not likely to be re-brewed any time soon — we used all the Eclipse we could get — this is a limited run so grab some while it lasts & drink it fresh!

473mL can. Pours hazy yellow. Aroma is very tropical, lots of citrus and stonefruit. Flavour is juicy up front; similar to the aroma. Very chalky and with a lot of hop burn. Not very good at all.

473mL can, pours an opaque peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is so chalky, with intense pithy stone fruits, citrus hops, and yeast soup — ugh. Flavour is full of vegetal bitterness, stone fruit pith, citrusy hops, and chalk galore. All the things wrong with hazies here: chalky, yeasty, tons of hopburn on the finish. Just bad.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Cloudy straw colour, small head. Huge aroma of pineapple and mango. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Peach and mango juice on fruity malt. Peppery warming finish with good bitterness.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some mild nectary and some mild sweetness to it. Flavour is fruity, floral, some nectary and some grainy and mild alcohol sweetness to it. Sweet alcohol and some tropical fruity/nectary sweet aftertaste.

Poured from overfilled 473mL can (pkg 20/04/2023). Very hazy yellow with small white head. Mild tropical hops, touch of stone fruit, little bit of chalk. Decent.

Can from the brewery. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are rich tropical fruits, bitter hops, citrus and malt. Nice long bitter and fruity finish. Yummy!

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Murky blond colour. It has some fruit and light dank aroma. Full bodied, moderately sweet, it's nice and juicy, maybe not the freshest, but still good.
