Since then Phillips has moved out of the apartment and into a more brewing-appropriate facility (with windows) closer to town. We have launched a soda company, a distillery, and most recently a malting facility–the only one of its kind in Canada.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-orange with a large, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, peach, orange peel, mild pine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, peach, mango, orange, grapefruit, pine resin, leafy green hops and a hint of alcohol in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average to soft carbonation. Tasty and well balanced.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Corn malt, basically just a generic macro lager, relatively clean and crisp.

Hazy gold, white head. Light fruity nose. Palate is light malt, citrus with light bitterness. An odd perfumey finish I don't care for

Poured from 355mL can into clear plastic cup at a Rickshaw wrestling show (pkg Dec 15, 2022). Hazy dull gold with small white head. Mild stone fruit and citrus hops, despite being old, I don’t feel like it’s lost too much of the hop character. Decent.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy golden colour. Nice aroma, some fruit, esters, bread. Lean, full bodied, nice malt base with hints of crispy malts and crackers and bread; bold hopping, resinous, bitter, long in the finish.
Clean and bold.
