Phillips Hop Box - Easy Pucker

By last week I had sampled just about every Phillips Brewery beer I could get locally,...except the Hop Box.  This had two Phillips beer I had not tried yet.  I only heard about it a few weeks ago.  This is a 12 pack of four of what I would call their mild or easy hopped beer (but still considered hoppy).  All the beers have a good hop note and taste but are far from overwhelming.  The 12 pack has four each of Hop Circle IPA, Skookum Cascadian Brown Ale,  Krypton Rye Pale Ale and Centennial IPA (the first in their new Grow Hop series (single hop IPA's)).  All of these selection are great for those looking to experiment with beers on the hoppier side, but not ready to quite dive in yet.  The alcholol is lower in these selections (highest = 6.5%) compared to other Phillips high hop beers. The Phillips Hopperation Triple Cross throws a little more pucker your way and an 8% alcohol content if your looking to dive right in!  The Phillips Hop Box is available at Frirefly Wines and Ales on Cambie Street in Vancouver .
