Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Phantoms
◎ Appearance
Pale straw yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character from suspended yeast and grain proteins. A full, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with visible lacing as you drink. The cloudiness is the hallmark of the style—inviting rather than indefinite.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and sweet orange from the Citra—layered with lime zest and herbal resin from Motueka. Nelson Sauvin adds a subtle white grape undertone, almost floral. A soft, bready maltz backbone keeps the bouquet grounded without overwhelming.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and soft, carried by oats and wheat that deliver a smooth, almost velvety mouthfeel. Mid-palate brings the hop complexity into focus: citrus brightness paired with a dry, herbal bite and a whisper of tropical stone fruit. Bitterness is restrained and integrated, finishing dry without harshness.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste lingers gently, with lingering citrus and herbal notes fading to a clean, slightly grainy dryness. Refreshing and inviting for another sip.

What is a Hazy IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Hazy IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, citrusy, herbal character as Phantoms will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
