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.

Bottled. Hazy golden, brief head. Light fruity aroma. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Sulphury and really hoppy with notes of orange and a resiny bitter finish. Though hoppy the flavours are subtle and complex.

[Bottled conditioned] This beer was rather skunky even though it was within the best before date. A hazy orange beer with a white disappearing head. The aroma is like grapefruit and sour milk. The flavor was malty and sour - would be a good flavor for a wild fermented beer - but not this one. I hope my bottle was bad.
