Draft: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy/tropical hoppy floral undertones notes with some juicy hops notes with light mango and pineapple notes. Taste is a mix of juicy hops notes with some hoppy floral hops undertones with some citrusy/mango and pineapple notes with faint residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Good hoppy double NEIPA with nice tropical notes.

(473ml can from 4th and 7, Toronto) Pours near-opaque medium yellow with a decent white head and heavy lace. Aroma is very Phantasm-esque as expected with notes of mixed citrus and dank pineapple, some white grape, leafy cannabis-inflected greenness from Mosaic/Simcoe, a little tropical floral undertone. Flavour is quite dry overall, paler oranges and wine grape-style pit fruit, some floral red fruit/lychee vibes, light almost crackery/doughy malt without much sweetness, soft melon/fruit rind feeling from the milddle onward, thiol-forward and without much bitterness, dry finish with white grape, soft pineapple and lots of lime and pale orange peel minus its bitterness. Medium-bodied for style, slightly creamy, above average carbonation. Interesting that there's just a bit of Phantasm as part of the blend for kettle hops and yet the whole brew feels Phantasm-dominated - thiol city. Solid, nice and dry.
