Double Dry Hopped Deftones Phantom Bride
Belching Beaver Pub 980

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy orange-amber color with a puffy head of white foam. The head fades rather fast, leaving a bit of lacing on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of tropical fruit smells of tangerine and mango mixed with some bready aromas and a touch of caramel. With these aromas, comes notes of grapefruit hop as well as some other hop aromas of an herbal and pine nature. There is a touch grass and a little bit of hay mixed in there as well.
Taste – The taste starts out with a bready flavor mixed with some sweeter tropical fruit flavors of tangerine and papaya. There are also some moderate hop flavors of grapefruit and earth upfront. As the taste moves forward the sweeter tropical fruits fade a bit all while some very light caramel joins in. These tastes are joined by a bit more hop of an herbal nature with the earthy hop getting even stronger. Toward the end, hay and some lemongrass join in, and with a bit of a “dirt” like flavor, one is left with a rather pleasantly hopped and moderately dry, but full, taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and chewiness with a carbonation level that is higher than average. Overall, the moderateness of the feel is good for the blend of hop and the more middle of the road sweetness and maltiness of the taste.
Overall –A very easy drinking and flavorful brew. Nothing too extraordinary, but one I would certainly go to again.

Look: Orange sap color, like sap out a pine tree color
Smell: hop pine, melon, citrus-melon (maybe cantaloupe?)
Taste: Melon, really smooth hop (no bite at all), hints of bitterness that actually never come through - it's mysterious pleasant like a "oh, here comes some bitterne...oh, nevermind... interesting", a get some overripe pineapple in there
Feel: Medium-full body, mild carbonation
Overall: Really nice. Super smooth flavors, nice melon-overripe pineapple notes, some carmel malt sweetness. Very much enjoyed this - all around fantastic

Appearance: Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a sticky off-white foam head. Some settlement.

Aroma: Sweet aroma of melon, citrus, and pineapple.

Taste: Pineapple and citrus up front, some floral and malt background.

Overall: not too bad for a hazy.

Pours a very hazy lemon color with the one finger pillowy retentive head.

Smells of citrus and pine as expected from any good hazy.

Lemon taste right up front mixed in very well with some nice sweet malts. Pineapple and guava dominate the mid. The backbone has that Deftones buddy taste all the way through, that being said to finish is nice and dry with like a malted hoppiness.

When it comes to the hazies this one is probably definitely top tier. Not too juicy or not too sweet but just enough definitely a rarity when it comes to the hazy.

 

Pours a hazy deep straw or golden with a minimal head.
Notes of ripe melon and apricots, mangoes. Pineapple, yum yum.
Tastes of apricot and ripe Pineapple. Got that ripe Mellon sweetness and a tinge of bitterness to it.
Great balance for this, soft clean and crisp.light carbonation only.
Well crafted beer and I will now buy a 4 pk.
