Prairie Artisan Phantasmagoria Double IPA
This is the penultimate IPA in this review series, as a reminder, "double" usually indicates elevated ABV or IBUs or both. It's equivalent to "imperial". Phantasmagoria Double IPA pours a cloudy ripe pineapple hue, with a thin white head. The 8% ABV and 70 IBUs put it solidly in IPA territory, but on the low side, in my opinion, of a double or an imperial. The perceived bitterness is somewhat subdued, piney notes that suggest, but don't overwhelm. There's also quite a bit of citrussy hops in the mix as well. There's hints of mango and pineapple, but overall, if I didn't know that the ABV and IBUs were as high as they are, I'd suspect this was a light beer (not in a bad way).
