Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear amber brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, an oaty sweetness and a mild tangy chocolate. Soft pine into mild but juicy citrus, the back end dominated by candy fruits. Light finish. Not bad, good malt base but unusually for Phantom, needs more hops.

Creamy white head on a very hazy dull golden coloured body.
Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a clean back.
Lime, dank, bitter & resinous tastes with a huge hopped finish.
Excellent

Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness as per Phantom norm. Juicy and slightly tangy orange, tangerine and mandarin hops. Cooling pine of course. Mild hop spice. Touches of stone fruits and a little mango. Mild skunk runs underneath. Crisp finish. Pretty juicy.
