Named after the ethereal song by the one and only Deftones, Phantom Bride IPA is a blend of Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops delicately balanced for the perfectly drinkable mix of citrus and hoppy goodness. A truly original Deftones/Belching Beaver Collaboration envisioned by Chino Moreno and skillfully crafted by Thomas Peters. Sit back, put on your headphones and drink away.

Was quite shocked this was a damn tasty IPA not overall bitter or sweet just a great balance. ABV is spot on for the style maybe drinks like a 6% but a higher ABV is always appreciated. Good price and sick looking cover art as well

The look and smell are nothing special here, but the taste and mouthfeel make up for it. The taste features a near perfect fruit/malt balance and the mouthfeel is perfect.

Belching Beaver's Deftones Tribute - Phantom Bride IPA is a solid beer that hits all the right notes. It's got a good kick at 7.1% ABV, but it's not too much. It's hoppy filed up perfectly for an IPA IMO. Overall, it's just a really enjoyable drink.
Belching Beaver always comes up with some cool ideas for their beers, and this Deftones collab is no different. If you're a fan of the band or just like trying new beers, this one is worth a shot. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of the lineup. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

Amazing beer! From a can into etched crystal globe. Yahtzee! Passion fruit all the way from nose and throughout taste. Carmel malt on the end. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bright tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base with slight bitter pineapple and stone fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with big carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Good IPA! Citrus, pine, pineapple and more. Very pleasant mouth feel and carbonation. This is a first grade IPA in my opinion. All the other parameters: color, appearance and smell are first line. Cheers!
