RobBestwick (1288) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 8, 2017Bottle. Sharp yeast, citrus and tropical fruit aroma. Golden in colour with a frothy white head. Sharp bitter hoppiness with tropical fruits. Medium body. Long hoppy finish. Very good.
ljthiessen (1753) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - MAY 30, 2015Bottle, labelled as 7.3%. Golden colour with a thick white head. Aroma is bright lemon zest and Belgian yeast, some tropical fruits coming trough as well. Flavour is sharp and zesty citrus with a touch of tropical fruit and that Belgian yeast, also slightly grassy - thick texture and a lot going on. Pretty nicely done.
GraffitiVandal (150) - Manitoba, CANADA - MAY 12, 2015ENG: 650ml bottle from Liquor Mart in Winnipeg, poured into the Teku glass. Light-golden color with lots of residue, nice, thick, tan head and great lacing. Aromas of cloves, malts, tropical fruits. Some kind of smokiness, but that’s due to the lot of funkiness. Tastes also funky, hoppy, clovy, malty. Delicate wheat notes in both aroma and flavor. Bitterness is quite hidden but it’s present in the aftertaste. Medium carbonation, medium body. Overall nicely balanced funky IPA with interesting palate. The only exception to the overall note would be that residue, which was kinda massive and messy.
PL: Butelka 650ml kupiona w Liquor Mart w Winnipeg, przelana do Teku. Barwa jasno-złota, bardzo dużo osadów, piana jasna, gęsta, obfity lejsing. Aromaty goździków, słodów, owoców tropikalnych. Coś jakby wędzonka, ale to raczej wychodzi od sporej dawki dzikości. W smaku również dzikie, chmielowe, goździkowe, słodowe. Delikatnie pszeniczne nuty w aromacie jak i smaku. Goryczka nieco ukryta, ale w posmaku zdecydowanie wyczuwalna. Średnie nasycenie, średnie odczucie w ustach. Podsumowując nieźle zbalansowane, dzikie IPA z ciekawą paletą smaków. Jedyne zastrzeżenie do tych masywnych meszków / pozostałości.
AgentAle (2819) - Fort Mcmurray, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 28, 2015Aroma is clove, grapefruit, lemongrass, earthiness, passionfruit and slight honey. Taste is a light, sweet and not overly deep malt profile. The earthy fresh tasting hop body is complex and not overpowering. Finishes crisply with light tanin burn. Appearance is a clear straw with a medium fluffy pearl head that retains very well.
JohnnyJ (5819) - San Diego, California, USA - JAN 12, 2015On draft at the brewery. Clear yellow amber, with a white head. Citrus, floral hops, grapefruit, a bit fruity, caramel, and slight Belgian yeast character. Ok, but uninteresting.

This is probably on par with the best Phillips brews I’ve had so far. Decent balance of pungent hops and Belgian brett-like funk, with light malt supporting. Not as bright as Bottle Rocket, but the Belgian funk adds an interesting character singling this out from the rest of the Phillips stable. (17/20)
