West Coast Thiol Injection Phantasm : Appearance
Vibrant yellow body with a sticky white head that left streaks down the side of the glass, and little blotches as well.
West Coast Thiol Injection Phantasm : Aroma
Very aromatic beer – lots of tropical aromas swirling around in the glass. Mango and pineapple, with some passion fruit to support everything that was going on. As the beer warmed up, some citrus aromas of lemon and orange were present, along with some light grapes notes present combined with a touch of malt sweetness present to support everything that was going on. No discernible alcohol heat or off flavours were noted from the beer.
West Coast Thiol Injection Phantasm : Taste
Intense would be an understatement here – it’s like drinking a tropical fruit juice. Mango, pineapple, passion fruit – all of the flavours intermingled nicely and well were balanced. The beer was medium bodied, with residual stickiness present throughout drinking, leaving a sticky residue after drinking. The citrus notes of lemon and orange cut through the tropical notes of the beer, and with a low level of bitterness, made it a well balanced beer.
West Coast Thiol Injection Phantasm : The Bottom Line
This is a very good beer and I would recommend buying a can or 4 when it’s on sale and trying it with the West Coast Thiol Injection.
