Mi Amiga Phantasma

Tap to rate

Mi Amiga Phantasma is a 4.3 % pale ale built around the Sabro hop, which brings notes of coconut and lemongrass, with Mosaic in a supporting role adding a little tropical fruit. The grist combines barley, wheat and oats. It joined the range in 2016 and is on the tap list at the Wool House on Town Quay. Like all Dancing Man beers it is left unfined, so it pours with some haze.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mi Amiga Phantasma

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden ale that pours with intentional cloudiness from the unfined yeast suspension. The head is substantial and creamy, settling to a persistent collar with moderate lacing. The haziness diffuses the light, creating an opaque, inviting appearance characteristic of the brewery's natural handling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright coconut and lemongrass from the Sabro hop, immediately distinctive and aromatic. Mosaic contributes a subtle tropical fruit undertone—mango and passionfruit—without overwhelming the primary character. A gentle grainy sweetness from the malt foundation grounds the profile without competing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and approachable, with the Sabro's coconut notes translating directly to flavor alongside a clean lemongrass spice. Mid-palate brings light tropical sweetness and a slightly oaty creaminess from the grist composition. The bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, playing a supporting role that balances rather than asserts.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering lemongrass and a dry, slightly herbal conclusion. Carbonation provides a crisp sensation without harshness, encouraging another sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
