473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with absurdely huge, fluffy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. (Due to the huge head) initially subdued, fruity hoppy and minimally funky yeasty aroma, minimally sugary, pale malty background, notes of white grapes, grape juice, a touch of grape sugar, unripe melon, a touch of unripe kiwi fruit as well, old lemon and lime overtones. Taste is fruity hoppy and minimally sugary, pale malty, notes of white grapes, hints of kiwi fruit, gooseberry, melon, a touch of old lemon, lime. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth palate with an almost slimy basic strand, simultaneously carbonation induced dry top, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Very nice composition, balanced and harmonious with enjoyable easiness; the huge head isn't really problematic but averts a wider experience - good!

Can (8/10/23) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. A cloudy dark yellow with nice sparkle, massive head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong orange, tropical fruit, dank, bread. Taste is citrus, dank grape, bread. Smooth, thick, average carbonation, finish as taste. Juicy but somewhat nondescript. Good.

16 oz can. Jeez, not sure why a Massachusetts Admin can’t add label art to a new entry. Jeez fool… Don’t worry. I added it for you. Phantasm powder has finally arrived in New England. Thanks for the master Brewer at Anchorage brewing Company in Alaska. Aroma is white grape, grapefruit peel, and cracker malt. The phantasm power makes the white grape pop. Citrus plays second fiddle. This is really good! Obviously attributed to the powder.

Brewery draught, 8/19/23. Heavy haze. Light golden-blonde-bronze. Small, white head clumps on the corners. Juicy, soft, spicy, white wine heavy, malty. No resin or booze. Lots of honey and white grape. Very soft, very malty, very white wine forward with strong orange juice and no big punchy grape. Could do a bit more bitterness and a bit less maltiness, but this is pretty well-done and that's a minor quibble.
