Four Phantoms
WarPigs Brewing USA

 

Pours out of the can a slightly opaque gold with 2 fingers of head and strong lacing. Smells like citrus and a certain fruity cereal, really good actually. Initially the carbonation dances on the tongue and then dissipates to its floral and citrus notes. A really fun beer to drink!

Canned 6/3/22; drank 9/4/22 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy pale yellow/orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big, noisy white head; frothy lace.

Grapefruit & table sugar notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Grapefruit & table sugar flavors; this is drinkable, I suppose, but is hardly worth the effort. Just have a glass of water, friend.

 

Four Phantoms pours a clean golden color, with a large, long lasting, lacing head. Aroma is sweet, with notes of banana and cereal. Flavor has pale cereal foundation, hints of banana, a few floral hops come out as well. Good body and feel. Overall, this is a very good blond ale, lots of flavors, enjoyable flavors.

 

12oz can, enjoyed over the holiday weekend

Very slight haze, yellow-orange, smells EXTREMELY hoppy, puts a lot of IPAs to shame. Metallic danks in the nose. Taste is very hoppy, a lot of tropical fruit and you can taste the booze as well. Grass and danks and tangerine rind, along with honey malt

Very bitter and juicy, this is an west coast IPA by any other name. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Poured from a 12oz can PKGD 10/20/20

A beautiful golden color here with some good head and lacing. The aroma is the best part imo. A ton of citrusy hop character with a slight light sweetness. If it wasn't labelled I would assume it's on the hoppier side of an APA trending towards IPA. Definitely more bitter and hoppy than any blonde ale I've had. The only thing that makes it a blonde is the color.

12oz can PKGD 10/20/20 (3 weeks ago) poured into a tulip pint glass at fridge temp, no ABV listed on can. The beer pours bright light golden amber with abundant off white head. The head recedes to a thin cap and leaves some spotty lacing. The aroma is mild with candied orange and pine. The taste is semisweet with a touch of caramel and plenty of citrus & pine before a mild to moderate bitter finish. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. There is some residual hop oil here that creates a little stickiness, but it's not overly sweet. Overall, very good. I wasn't expecting the pronounced hop flavor or moderate bitterness, but it's well put together. More of a American pale ale than a blonde.
