Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, forward creamy sweetness but not overcooked. Superdelic immediately obvious with it's red berry and candy elements, some tropical fruits as well. Amarillo underneath, some slightly floral orangey citrus. Maybe a little Nelson on the back end if you look hard. Modern Mosaic is lost on me here. A decent pinch of hop spice on the finale and pine that reminds you that it has been here all along. Nice punchy pale ale from Phantom.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Light minerally crisp palate. Thin bodied pale malts but a decent creamy sweetness. Audacia hops bring bold complex floral flavours and, the decision to add honey to this dipa gives a very distinct flavour profile. Good citrus underneath, enough to keep the sweetness in check. A little tangy citrus peel and a very mild hop spice on the finish. First gobful and my gut reaction was, too sweet but, then the overall feel of the beer made sense and I enjoyed it.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, tidy, if small, pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, a thin but forward creamy sweetness. Crisp pine and nibbly hop spice. Slightly bitterish citrus. Touch of tropical fruits. Esters peeping through here and there. Light, dry and fairly hop spicy finish. Not bad, but for me, falls a little short of the normal D96 quality.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, retaining some body and delivering a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Citra and Simcoe bring good bright citrus and cooling pine, a bare whisper of skunk. Mosaic shows up in its modern form, right on the end, with candy fruits. After a 10 hour day, 4.5 of which were driving and the rest walking in the warm weather, this absolutely hit the spot. Light, hoppy, bright and crushable.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, not thin, a decent creamy sweetness. Citra hops deliver cooling pine and a light but bright citrus, orange and mandarin, touch of tangerine. Another light and bright pale ale from Phantom that goes down super easy.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, not thin, a decent creamy sweetness. Citra and Nelson hops bring light bright citrus with a whisper of grapey brightness. The Citra doesn't feel like it has a much depth as the +1. Still, the overall effect is another pleasant bright and quaffable pa from Phantom.
