Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 01, 2022. Aroma is hop forward and fairly fruity with passion fruit, mango, papaya and other tropical fruit notes. Lighter notes of tropical citrus and hints of dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a somewhat clear, yellow gold with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate notes of passion fruit, tropical citrus, grapefruit and lighter notes of other tropical fruit. Hints of dank, resin that lingers into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid double IPA and the hop aroma is pretty nice. There is however a slightly poopy aroma and a bit of soapiness in the flavor. I'm not sure if it's the cryo x phantasm thing, but it's a bit off. Light malt profile but fairly strong bitterness.
