The most important thing is that we are alike on the inside, not on the outside.

Final Phantasy is a Hazy Double IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at @kilterbrewing over in Winnipeg. This is the third time we’ve partied up to bring our lupulin based fantasies to life, with our past battles resulting in The Legend of Citra and Super Citra Bros.

Our quest this time began with ample amounts of Nelson Sauvin (both pellets and cryo), a hop known for it’s tropical and wine grape flavours. To push it to the limit, we used Freestyle’s Mega Motueka hops, which are Motueka hops blended with Phantasm powder: a thiol precursor made from from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which is used to elevate the tropical flavours of hazy IPAs. What entails are characters of passion fruit, pineapple, mango, tangerine, lime, papaya, lychee, and white grape, complimented by a light dankness, a mild floral character, a little alcohol warmth, and a balanced bitterness carried by a silky smooth mouthfeel.
