Can. A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Thinnish bodied pale malts, more than adequate creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine into juicy citrus and stone fruits. Whispers of skunk and a very light but clear edge of bitterness. Motueka comes through on the back end with mild but pleasing like. El Dorado is lost on me here. Light and semi dry brings a modicum of hop spice. Another juicy hop fruit super quaffable offering from Phantom.

Keg at Trekkers, Chesham, Bucks. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, orange, peach, mango, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Decent enough IPA.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a murky light golden brown colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, light dank, earthy, mineral, light floral, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
