Flavor Profile and Aroma:
Phantom Bride IPA delivers a vibrant hop-forward character layered with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, and ripe melon rise from the glass alongside subtle hints of pine and floral hops. The flavor balances juicy citrus and orange peel with light resinous bitterness and a gentle malt backbone that keeps the beer crisp and refreshing from start to finish.

Appearance:
Pours a clear golden to light amber color with a fluffy white head that holds well and leaves delicate lacing along the glass.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with smooth carbonation and a clean, balanced texture. The finish is slightly dry, allowing the hop character to linger pleasantly without overwhelming the palate.

Story and Accolades:
Phantom Bride IPA is a collaboration between Belching Beaver Brewery and the influential alternative rock band Deftones. Named after a song from the band’s album Gore, the beer was crafted with input from frontman Chino Moreno. The result is a modern West Coast–inspired IPA that has become one of Belching Beaver’s most recognizable and widely enjoyed flagship beers.

Food Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with grilled burgers, spicy tacos, fish and chips, sharp cheddar, and wood-fired pizza. The bright hop character also complements citrus-marinated chicken, barbecue dishes, and flavorful street foods.
