MadTree Brewing Phantom Forest
What the brewers say
“Stone fruit–forward aroma with notes of tropical fruit and citrus.”
What our panel thought
“Earthy grapefruit with a mild green pepper aroma, underlaid with hints of mango and guava. Muted floral, light catty, and garlic. The flavor shifts more tropical, drawing out the guava and adding some lychee and a wonderful spicy note that blends well with the light ethanol. Soft, grounding bitterness lingers.”
What our editors thought
“Juicy without the haze, a pineapple-guava nose blends sweet and earthy funk. The bitterness hits with a rolling wave more than a bite, then recedes quickly into a pithy linger.”
