Yellow gold beer with some noticeable floaties. Aroma is very yeasty and fruity with some coconut shampoo and some clove spice. Light sweet spicy flavor with nice fruity esters of banana, orange, and a touch of metallic alcohol. Extremely easy to drink even with the metallic aspect. It is carbonated to a almost high level. Notes say pleasant.

very odd aroma. poured nicely with a decent head. Taste was far too much of alcohol for my liking. Very disappointed with this brew based on previous Phillips beers

Gold with a full white head. Aroma is yeast, light alcohol, malt, wheat, and spice. Taste is yeast, nutmeg, light fruit esters and alcohol.

Clear copper. Fairly thick w/ light banana/citrus and yeast. Solid, and one of the most interesting brews I had in BC (Not exactly saying much). Definitely needs to cut down on the sweetness.

draft at alibi room in vancouver. haha, this is hilariously poorly rated. i just got it since it said triple and seemed like the only thing here with the potential for [6% abv. pours an opaque orange golden, inhomogenous, some persistent head in the shape of a terrier head facing left. or a boot kicking right. aroma is miserable. urine infected cheese. oh my fucking god. taste is literally *shudder* bad. this is so wrong. maybe if labeled under belgian pale ale this might work, but it’s way closer to a screwed up jolly pumpkin or super fresh duvel than it is any triple i’ve had. which is to say, super sour and funky. there’s hardly any malt to speak of. i award this no points in flavor. i think i’ll throw it back, but i considered making it the first beer i’ve bought in a bar and chosen not to drink. holy god this bad.

Honey gold, moderate white head with medium retention, no lace. Odd vegetal aroma, like wet hay and day-old lettuce, and a hint of sesame (I know... what?!). Sweet palate that tastes like it has been steeped in dried straw, again the vaquely vegetal character that is quite off-putting, and a very subtle smokey note (cork board). This was weird, and not enjoyable.
