Hop BroY.MARKET BREWING's FANTASMA has been newly tapped at HOP MAN in Chigasaki. It's a guest Hazy IPA, and this one is all about going after you through aroma first.
MugiWhoa, even the name FANTASMA sounds intense! What kind of beer is it? It sounds kind of ghostly, so is it scary-tasty?
Hop BroIt looks like a hazy straw yellow beer, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 15.78. True to the Hazy IPA style, it's a beer that isn't too bitter and instead impresses with layers of aroma.
MugiIBU 15.78 means mild bitterness, right? So I just have to remember that a smaller number means it's gentler?
Hop BroExactly, roughly speaking, it means gentle bitterness. And this one layers candy- and strawberry-like aromas with hints of vanilla and coconut, so if you like sweet-leaning aromas, it should really hit the spot.
MugiWhat is that, a perfume sampler? Strawberry, vanilla, and coconut? It's got dessert vibes, and yet it's beer.
Hop BroWhat makes it great is that it doesn't end up cloyingly sweet; the grapefruit-like finish tightens everything up nicely. With a light-to-medium body and a silky mouthfeel, it leaves a very good impression.
MugiSo silky means it's the kind you can sip smoothly! But with such a strong aroma, that contrast is irresistible.
Hop BroThat's exactly the appeal of a Hazy IPA. FANTASMA in particular is the kind that changes with temperature, so the impression shifts a little from the first sip to the last.
MugiWait, so the right move is to watch it slowly in the glass! Following the changes in the keg at HOP MAN sounds kind of like the thing a real regular would do.
Hop BroExactly. With the fun of chasing guest beers in Chigasaki included, this is definitely a beer you want to spend time with tonight.
MugiYeah, this is one I have to drink! It makes me want to go confirm everything from the first sip to the aftertaste together.
