Tap. Pours slightly cloudy amber with average, creamy off-white head; good retention and lacing. Aroma is grassy and floral hops, biscuit and cereal malt, caramel, light orange peel, and faint lemon. Flavor is grassy and floral hops forward with good supporting citrus fruit esters and bready malts with some herbs; dry, lightly hoppy finish. Medium body and low carbonation.

A hazy orange beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is piney resin with decent malt. The flavor is similar but more intense on the hops.

Pour on tap at the brewery, clear dark orange pour with white head, aroma has notes of big dank pine, grapefruit and grass/herbal notes, hints of orange and lemon peel, hints of grass, spice and herbal notes, some caramel and toffee come in as well. Taste is sweet orange and grapefruit, touch of grass, nice resinous pine, hints of earth, caramel and toffee, finishing fairly bitter and slightly sweet.

Sample draft at brewery. Copper color. Active carbonation. Nice head and lacing. Pretty standard IPA aroma and taste. Nice.

Tap @ brewery. Amber/orange appearance with an off white head. Nice, grapefruit, light skunk hop forward aroma. Lightly spicy, a bit toasty, grapefruit, piney hoppy flavor. My second favorite during my second stop at PC.

On tap at Phantom Canyon Brewing in Colorado Springs. Same as the Phantom IPA but served on CO2 instead of on cask, which i have not had. Decent IPA but nothing special. A bit of tropical fruit in the nose and a moderately bitter citrusy flavor with some caramel and bread notes. Finish is bitter.

Tap. Pours clear dark amber with a medium, fizzy off-white head with medium retention and good lacing. Aroma is caramel and toast malt, resin, pine, citrus and herbal hops with fruity esters. Flavor is light malt with heavy hops, medium bitterness, light esters and a dry finish. Medium body, warmth and carbonation.

Cloudy orange, sticky lacing. Barely-there aroma. Medium bodied palate is light on hops, thin in the back & a little skunky. Not a very good ipa.
