440ml can from Left Field Beer Solihull, shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky golden orange colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is dry, light floral. The flavour is o ever moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, juicy tropical citrus, tart pineapple grapefruit, dry, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. RIP Phantom.Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a good Phantom style creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine. Soft skunk, a mild hop spice nip. Rakau exotics, mild ripesih stone fruits, a little mango, slightly sweet. Light finish. Phantom have done better DIPAs but, this is decent.

Can. RIP Phantom. Sniff. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a soft creamy sweetness. Soft pine into a mellow and pleasant citrus, tangerine, mandarin and a whisper of El Dorado sakura and a little Rakau exotics. Light finish, a nice all rounder.

Can. RIP Phantom. Sniff. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, a very mild dryness, modest fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Light pine into a very pleasant hop fruity array. Juicy citrus and stone fruits go well with light Nelson grape. A little Strata passion fruit, any passion fruit from this erratic hop is always welcome. Modest Simcoe pineapple. Light finish. Great hop fruits. I really am going to miss this brewery.
