Vinyl resole phenolic resin, coating compositions formed therefrom, articles and methods of coating

A coating composition, comprising:

• a vinyl resole phenolic resin including one or more monomer constituent units having the below Formula I
• wherein each R1 is independently a hydrogen or an organic group including 1 to 20 carbon atoms:
• wherein each R2, if present, is independently an organic group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms:
• wherein the subscript, x, can be zero or 1:
• wherein each R3 is independently a hydrogen or an organic group including 1 to 10 carbon atoms:
• wherein each R4 is independently hydrogen or an organic group including from 1 to 4 carbon atoms:
• wherein each R5 group is independently an alkoxy group, aryl group, aryl ether group, benzyl ether group, or an alternative organic group, each such component including from 1 to 20 carbon atoms:
• wherein R6 and R7 are each independently hydrogen or an organic group including 1 to 8 carbon atoms;
• and wherein the subscript, v, ranges from 0 to 3;
• and
• a second polymer, optionally, capable of participating in a crosslinking reaction with the vinyl resole phenolic resin.

A food or beverage container, or portion thereof, comprising:

• a body portion or an end portion comprising a metal substrate;
