Kettlehead Brewing Phantasticality
Imperial IPA 8 º
Phantasticality presents a vivid sensory experience, leaning into the modern juice-bomb character of a Double IPA. The synergy of Riwaka, Citra, and Nelson hops creates an explosive aromatic profile dominated by passion fruit, white grape, and bright citrus. The addition of Phantasm Powder further intensifies these tropical thiols, echoing the profile of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, delivering a lush, fruit-forward complexity. This high-ABV ale balances its potent hop saturation with a soft, clean malt backbone that allows the thiol-driven guava and gooseberry notes to shine. The result is a smooth, highly saturated ale with a lingering, resinous fruit finish.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM) with a pronounced hazy to opaque clarity. Displays a moderate-sized, persistent white head with fine-textured lacing.
Aroma. High to intense hop aroma featuring punchy passion fruit, ripe guava, and gooseberry. Bright grapefruit and tangerine notes provide a citrus counterpoint. Background malt is neutral and doughy, while the fermentation profile is clean with very light stone fruit esters.
Taste. Explosive flavors of tropical nectar, crushed wine grapes, and zesty citrus. The thiol-driven character emphasizes passion fruit and Sauvignon Blanc-like qualities. Malt flavor is low and unobtrusive, providing soft support for the moderately high hop bitterness, which remains smooth rather than abrasive. The finish is medium-dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft, and slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a full, mouth-filling experience. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
