Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness as per Phantom norm. Juicy and slightly tangy orange, tangerine and mandarin hops. Cooling pine of course. Mild hop spice. Touches of stone fruits and a little mango. Mild skunk runs underneath. Crisp finish. Pretty juicy.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, orange citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh smooth, tart juicy orange citrus, light mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.
