Phunny Pack is a high-impact American IPA that showcases a sophisticated layer of modern hop science. The sensory profile is dominated by an explosion of tropical thiol-driven aromatics, featuring saturated notes of passionfruit and crushed white grape from Nelson Sauvin and Phantasm. Mosaic Incognito and Motueka contribute deep layers of blueberry and zesty lime, while Pineapple Express and Gelato terpenes amplify the vivid, resinous pineapple and sweet citrus finish. Despite the intense fruit profile, the palate remains grounded by a lean, grainy malt base and a firm, clean bitterness that ensures a crisp, refreshing conclusion.
Appearance.Deep gold with a slight haze; medium-sized, persistent white head with good lacing.
