Auburn bronze Premium ale with malty barley sugar and spicy hop aromas and a smooth creamy flavour with soft fruits throughout with a tasty balanced finish.
Originally brewed for the Beauty of Hops Competition 1997 to trial Phoenix hops, a new variety developed to be resistant to Wilt, the disease which has decimated English Hop Gardens.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. A beautiful pale gold colour with the faintest white head; the aroma has honey, light grains and a whiff of yeast; the flavour is annoyingly ordinary with some citrus and honey; and a biscuity finish with some light floral hops adding a little bitterness. Pleasant enough, but disappointingly not matching up to my initial expectations.

Bottled (found in cellar by my mom, BBE in autumn 2008). Hazy ambery colour with mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is fruits, nectar and some slight wooden and yeasty notes. Flavour is fruity and flowery hops along with some sap and even slight soapy notes.

Bottled (BB 11/2006). Hazy orange - nut brown color, big head with shades of orange. Very fruity (strawberry, blackberry) and yeasty nose. Sweetish fruity flavor, flowery hops with notes of honey in the finish. Bitter aftertaste. At least in bottle conditioned form complex and nice fruity blond ale.
