A Note on This Beer

If you’re a craft nerd and you haven’t heard of phantasm powder’s juice-conjuring powers, listen closely. Only a handful of the most innovative breweries are using this rare ingredient, and today it’s in the dexterous hands of Gabe Fletcher and his team at Anchorage.

To craft this luxuriously tangy IPA, this world-renowned crew used loads of the newfound invention to accentuate the flavors of Beached’s 100% Citra Hop profile.

How does phantasm powder work? It’s made from freeze dried Sauvignon Blanc grape skins. These skins have lots of thiols in them — the same stuff that produces the fruity characteristics in hops!

Crack open the can, and aromas of freshly sliced mangoes and apricots swirl on the nose. Take a sip, and swells of ripe melon, tangy-sweet pineapple, and plush passionfruit erupt on the palate — all from the hops, and amplified by the phantasm powder!

So, if you wanna know what phantasm is REALLY capable of… you should definitely get a taste of Anchorage’s version. They’re one of Thrillist’s Best Breweries in America, after all!

Tis not disappointing!! Smells one way, tastes another. Wofts of prairie onion and blue cheese. As soon as it hits your tongue you're better with a full cornucopia of fresh citrus chased by south-of-the-border mango. Am I doing this right???

Certainly there's citrus(mostly orange), but I also got a vegetal note on the finish which was interesting(not bad). Tasty, smooth, and plenty drinkable, but the fruit flavors were somewhat reserved and not as nuanced as I was hoping.

Overall pretty solid well balanced IPA. Not in the same caliber as some of the others they are putting out though.

Grassy as all get up with a pleasant splash of bitterness. Loving the Phantasm.

Kinda musty, The old seawashed lumber of the boat maker's basement. Smells of a recently opened bag of rice crackers. A lot like dry air, but with a nuance that reminds me of the coarsely smooth surface of sheet of nori. Medium aroma bloom. On further inspection, the notes of citrus and hoppiness subside to a sort of mellow, fermented tonic water.

i think it’s named Beached. A well balanced beer giving you dank, citrus, and onion flavors. Definitely not a NEIPA, in my opinion, almost an APA.

love this one. white grape juice, peach, light grassy/pine spiciness. signature Anchorage pillowy, chewy mouthfeel and sweetness.

A nicely balanced brew. Not too hoppy with a lovely aroma, but would like more citrus flavor. Yet I could happily sink a few of these.

citrusy, dank and smooth with not too much bite. A decent IPA. Deserves 3.5 but I can only give it even stars.

Lighter IPA with vegetal nuance throughout. Drinks clean with the white grape skin flavor from the Phantasm breaking through on the finish.

BEACHED. Daily corona battle. Beautiful CF Saturday edition. This is light and crisp, floral and citrusy and remarkably clean. Peppery finishing and just so Anchorage good.

Beached, is a fruity IPA that is best drank while sitting down. Be careful when you get up.

I’m not an IPA fan, but leave it to Anchorage to brew one I could drink all day! Crispy. Light. Nice hop, but still light.

White grape here is subdued. Soft citrus, with some soft lingering floral hints. Dry texture, also displays mild juice. Slightly above average
