Fantasmo
3 Floyds Brewing Co.

 

Pours a hazy straw color with a sudsy white head. Noble hop aromas aromas with grassy notes, some grain, and a subtle bready malt note.

The grain flavor is predominant, and fits well with the bready malt flavor. Really nice lawnmower beer, IMHO.

 

 

16oz can
date stamped 03/31/20
L: crystal clear golden; frothy white head
S: very pale malt, cereal grain, earthy/grassy hops
T: modest grassy & earthy hops meets extra mild malt and corn perhaps
F: lighter body, moderate carbonation, crisp & balanced finish
O: easy drinker; doubt I'd get it again though

L:. Pours a very pale straw yellow with a medium fizzy white head and a few small fingers of lacing on the glass.

S:. Light corn and grain, a light malty sweetness, very little hop.

T:. Light corn, sweet malt, a light floral hop.

F:. Clean crisp, very light body.

O:. Drinkable but this feels like 3 Floyd's attempt to get the Bud or Coors crowd.

Nice crisp lager that actually reminded me somewhat of a pale ale, given its nice subtle hop flavors. No date printed on can, as is typical of all 3 Floyds beers. Pours a clear golden color with some fluffy white head and small rings of lingering lacing that clung to the glass, very nice. Aromas of crisp orange and grapefruit hops, malt, vanilla, faint grain and corn, some bread and caramel. Taste follows the nose, great balance and very flavorful for a low-ABV light lager. Smooth crisp mouthfeel, not too thin, good carbonation. I really enjoyed this one.

 

 

 

 

Can from izzyismyrott. Couldn’t find date.
Ridiculous and funny label.
L: clear golden yellow w/white and creamy head. Moderate carbonation.
S: malty berry bready sweetness. Faint.
T: standard lager, slightly sweet bready, very minimal herbal hops.
F: thin and slick, crisp dry finish. No alcohol presence.
O: standard light American lager. Labeled as Mexican lager but don’t see that as actual style category. Very drinkable but not anything that stands out. Funny label though.

Thanks to jkblr for this one, from a recent trade. 16oz can (no visible date) poured into 14oz teku. poured a clean, clear medium yellow color with 3/4 inch of white head that moderate retention and lacing.

The aroma was the expected light grains and floral hops. Same with the flavor profile.

The body was light, crisp, smooth, and had a medium finish.

Drinkability was fine, if not exciting.

Overall, another typical example of the style, worth a shot if you enjoy 'em.

Great beer on a hot day of crappie fishing really hit the spot.

 

 

 

 

 

16oz undated can (recent release) poured into a tulip pint glass at fridge temp, no ABV listed on can. The beer pours brilliantly bright straw yellow with nearly white head. The head builds to about an inch then falls to a solid cap leaving plenty of lacing. The aroma is mild with corn, pale malt, grass and musty storage. The taste is semisweet corny pale malt with a pronounced citrus hop (lemon, lime) note that persists into the mildly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, excellent AAL. The 3F website lists 20 IBU and that subtle bump makes this a really enjoyable lager. No off tastes of aromas.
