Hops: Citra + Mosaic
Label Design by: @brotherjopa
Release date: May 20, 2022
Metatheion is an experimental double-dry hopped Northeast style IPA brewed with a novel product called Phantasm.
Phantasm is a powder created from the skins of Sauvignon Blanc grapes in New Zealand. When Phantasm powder is combined with a very particular custom developed yeast strain - BOOM! It is transformed into juicy flavour compounds. While not a replacement for traditional hops, it gives a big boost to the tropical notes desired in a modern IPA.
This beer is double dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops to go along with the Phantasm

473 ml can. Pours a dull gold with light head. Aromas of melons, spicy guava, citrus, and wheaty malts. Flavors of subtle pine, citrus, melons, grape skin and wheaty malts. Nice

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Nose has a nice hop character, with piney and citrus hops, a hint of dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is gently bitter, with citrus hops, light dankness, almost some tart pithy stone fruits, and some crisp biscuity malt. The hop character is a bit murky and earthy but pleasant enough. Okay.

Poured from 473mL can. Very lightly hazy blonde gold with small white head (thought it would be hazier). Citrus hops, hint of onion, light graininess. Seems like the cans are pretty inconsistent judging by the ratings. My experience was okay overall, but mid tier for my Hypha experience as a whole.

Looks like hazy IPA. Not much head. Smells like last year's citra crop...just fucking onions and sulphur and shit. Sucks when you've contracted for a fuckton of citra and the whole goddamn crop is absolute trash. So that makes the decision to waste the phantasm on a beer that is going to be dominated by citra a bit of an odd choice. On the palate, the balance is probably better. There's some juicy orange in there, but it's still fighting for share of palate with the citra.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pale blond colour, hazy. Very nice aroma, grapes, tropical fruits, pungent. Good body; it seems quite dry, but with a light sweet feeling too; crisp malt and, possibly, oats base, some creaminess, and then an explosion of tropical fruits, of zest, of dry white wine, a bit floral; good bitterness level too, balanced.
Excellent.
