NZ Cascade and Riwaka hopped + phantasm American Pale Ale

If the idea of high-flavor, low-ABV, all-New Zealand, all-the-time hop juice gets your blood pumping like it does ours, you're in for a treat next week. Synthwave and it's hop bill BRINGS it..and with phantasm added in for good New Zealandy measure.

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had tropical and papaya fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with mango, guava and stone fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Canned 11/2/21; drank 11/5/21 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big off-white head; frothy, tree-rung lace.

Peach & soft wheat notes in the nose. Medium mouthfeel.

Peach & soft wheat flavors up front; sharp pine bite on the finish.

Pretty damn good, but it's a bit harsh on the finish.
