Infinite Drift: our first IPA brewed with Phantasm, an ingredient from New Zealand comprised of Sauvignon Blanc grape skins. Coupled with a mash-hopped liquid that's dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops, this beer is distinct and incredible with aromatic notes of white grape, citrus, and pineapple and an incredibly smooth mouth feel.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some white grape to passion fruity to slight guava and papaya-ish hop tones; super light clean malts extremely hard to pick up if at all
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to slight sweet and a little bit of that Phantasm-ish juiciness; finishes leaning into the passion fruit and white grapey juicy notes
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; very good smoothness with nothing distracting and Ten Bends kept the excessive dryness out that I've noticed with other brewers who try to use Phantasm powder
Overall: probably one of the best beers I've had by a brewer who correctly used the Phantasm powder, I am sure to return to this beer.
