Full-bodied with a fruity aroma, some fruitiness amongst its heavy texture.

Full body with a deep taste associated with Phoenix, and has a nice glow in the glass.

Cask at GBBF. Slightly hazy amber beer - brown beer. Softish palate, a little dry. Low carbonation. Rich fruit - very nice! Orange and peach well blended with rich malt. Tasty!

Low but unappealing aroma, but an unexpectedly nice malty taste to this ale.

Cask at the William Webb Ellis (JDW), Twickenham. Pale amber with a thin white head; aroma of orange marmalade; sweet orange fruit flavour with a slightly oily body; the finish has grapefruit and bitter orange marmalade. Rather good.

Oct 2011: Hand pulled pint in the excellent Cock Hotel, Wellington, Shropshire. Orangey pale hue to the amber body, on top a thin white head that refused to leave any lacing and became just a wisp after two sips. The smells were of semi-sour grapefruits, with some sugar cane esters for good measure. The taste also had the grapefruit citrusy feel to it, not so much sugar as the smell though: a slightly bitter aftertaste (hops?) took away the sourness of the grapefruit but didn’t detract from the overall flavours enough to ruin the beer in any way. Different, but not really exciting enough for me to have two.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet Bf 2012. Little bit of toffee little bit of hop. Ok. Nothing too interesting. Some ok hop on finish of a standard golden ale. Fine if uninspiring
