Belching Beaver / Deftones Phantom Bride IPA. 7.1 % ABV. 55 IBU. Belching Beaver Brewing, Oceanside, CA.
Okay. Belching Beaver. We have to get over this name. This stupid, stupid name. And just drink the beer. Regardless of how stupid is the name. Because, what if Farting Squirrel Brewery puts out the most divine saison ever brewed? Maybe the finest kolsch ever fashioned comes out of Diddling Daschhund Brewing Company? Got to stay open minded. Maybe Puking Pelican will be my new favorite?
Clear, bright golden hue, lush ivory head, leaving lace, looking fantastic.
In the nose: Mmm. Big, bright citrus, lots of hoppitude, aburst with flavor. yum.
In the mouth: Flat out yum. Medium bodied, long bitter finish. Citrus hop flavors popping on the palate. Just about lovely. Damned tasty. (Absolutely no pun intended.)
Named after the ethereal song by the one and only Deftones, Phantom Bride IPA is a blend of Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops delicately balanced for the perfectly drinkable mix of citrus and hoppy goodness. A truly original Deftones/ Belching Beaver collaboration envisioned by Chino Moreno and skillfully crafted by Thomas Peters. Sit back, put on your headphones and drink away.
