The nights are drawing in, the air is turning crisp, and somewhere in the shadows… the beers are getting stranger.
Welcome, brave drinkers, to the Eternal Hoptimists’ Spook-o-ween Special; 13 haunted brews cursed with mystery, mischief, and maybe even a little magic. From ghostly pales to monstrous stouts, we’ll be shining a lantern into the cellar to see what goes burp in the night.
Tonight, it’s Sam who dares to go first, join us as he takes the inaugural sip in our Spook-o-ween Special.
1. Name : Phantasm (5.5% ABV)
2. Brewery: Otherworld
3. Hops : Nelson Sauvin, Southern Cross
4. Grain : N/A
5. Aroma : Fresh fruits with an Orange scent.
6. Appearance : Slightly hazed golden beer, with a white open head when poured.
7. Body : Smooth, good level of carbonation with okay head retention.
8. Taste: Refreshing but quite a long drink given its wine like taste, crisp and clean with a slight citrus aftertaste.
Refreshing and crisp in flavour, but as it tastes so much like wine, its not one for quaffing, its quite a long drink. Its not particularly to my taste but its not by any means terrible.
Sam’s Jack ‘O Rating is: 3.2 / 5.0
The glass now lies empty… yet something stirs. From the shadows, a hiss escapes, and the promise of another cursed brew claws its way closer. Tomorrow, we open the next chapter in our tale of 13 Haunted Beers.
Lock your doors, ready your glasses — the horror is only just beginning…
