440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, smooth, somewhat rich, juicy orange tangerine citrus, light floral, light piney, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. One of the best beers I’ve had from Phantom.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Vista and Krush hops delivering a nice combo of citrus and stone fruits, touch of floral fruits in there. I think the subtler aspects of Vista are a little overwhelmed by Krush but perhaps a whisper of sensha on the back end. Very mild modern Mosaic candy fruits just before the light and semi dry finish brings a mild tickle of hop spice. Nice IPA, good depth of hop fruits. Vista really needs a solo outing though.
