Description
This team of owner-operators was formed shortly after the group realized they all were after the same thing, just in different parts of the province. Brewer John Folinsbee was planning a brewery in Squamish, industry veteran Marc Roberts had his sights on Vancouver while entrepreneur Ben Reeder and builder Adam Steinberg were looking at brewing in the Cowichan Valley on Reeder’s hop farm. After tasting John’s recipes they decided to go all in and combine forces to build the 6000 square foot brewery, tasting room and kitchen in Squamish.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange yellow with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet fruity aroma of wheat malt, tangerine, mango, cantaloupe and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of wheat malt, tangerine, mango, strawberry, passionfruit and pine needles in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and enjoyable.

473ml can. Pours an opaque yellow orange with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt and peach. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, fuzzy peach candy and lactose in a slightly tart finish. Medium body with a thick, slightly creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. More sweet than sour, but still tasty. Fun stuff.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gently grassy hops, straw, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice grassy hop character, straw, and biscuity malt. Grassy, lightly bitter finish. Solid.

Opaque, hop burn a bit. Indistinct hop aroma. Rather generic. If you’re going to carpe the diem, make a bolder beer? Dunno, this just seems phoned in.
