440ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of tangerine, mango, peach. Taste is very citrusy, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon/lime, mango, peaches, a little piney hop spice at the end. Medium bodied. Excellent NEIPA, especially so for a core range.

Can. A mild haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Thin bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, pretty restrained for Phantom. Crisp cooling pine. Light and bright citrus, orange, mandarin and tangerine. Trace of peel and an even finer trace of hop spice on the light and crisp finish. That old warhorse Citra, still has a kick. Doesn't have the mango of the very good hop batches or the pink grapefruit of the very best but, a nice Citra IPA

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, herbal. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, light melon, passionfruit when it warmed, mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth light palate, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a little thin bodied, pretty creamy sweet. Soft cooling pine. A decent Nelson grape into slightly savoury Rakau vibe. A touch of lime. Light and semi dry finish. It took me awhile to get into this one but, in the end, it won me over.

Can. Just a very light haze on the slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Inevitably thin bodied pale malts but, Phantom never let you down with malt sweetness, no exception here. Crisp cooling pine hops. A light bright savoury skunk note underneath. Cashmere slightly ripe melon sits comfortably alongside thin but bright Amarillo and Citra citrus, slightly tangy. Floral light orange, rounded mandarin and very light tangerine. Light crisp finish. Nice job. Phantom have packed a lot into this light pale ale. Refreshing.
