About
It all began with a 27 year old brewer, a windowless apartment, and a mountain of credit card debt. Phillips’ first brews were about as unconventional as his financing structure. In the conservative beer climate of 2001 the brewery launched with an Espresso Stout, a Raspberry Wheat Ale, and a boldy-hopped IPA; a suitable foreshadow for the creativity to come.
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.

Clear blond colour. It has a gentle fruity note, more noticeable in the aroma, but somehow present in the flavour too; for the rest, it's dry but not crispy; no malt flavour, almost; low bitterness.
Clean but very mediocre.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is unsurprisingly big ginger! The flavour is dry spicy herbal ginger with a little spicy ginger burn in the finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. As much as I love ginger, I didn’t like this enough to order a second glass.

Bottle. Dark brown with a cm of tan head that fades fast. Aroma of chocolate, briochish bread, light spices. Taste is a tad milky as well but the chocolate is bittersweet and there is a nip of bitterness at the end too. Decent body for the ABV. Straightforward but pretty satisfying.

On tap. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a small, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, peach, nectarine, yogurt and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, peach, apricot and floral hops in a dry, sour lacto finish. Light to medium body with a watery to oily texture and lively carbonation. Juicy, delicious and refreshing.

355mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is rather skunky and vegetal, with herbal notes and light grass. Flavour is rather vegetal, with herbal notes, a touch of grass, and straw. Dry, straw-like and clean-ish but too vegetal. It's barely drinkable.

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.
