"The famous beer of Mauritius"

Famous it may be, but I've just been sampling some and I don't reckon Phoenix Beer can compare with:

* Marvel superheroine Jean Grey-Summers, aka Phoenix, from the X-Men (although, coincidentally, both were "born" in 1963)

* "Phoenix" the Atari VCS version of the classic arcade game, at which - if I can toot my own trumpet - I was the champ, OR

* The fiery phoenix mode of the spaceship in 70s 'toon "Battle Of The Planets" (Japanese title: "Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman").

That said, it's got a dirty-nice flavour, packs a 5% alcohol kidney punch and I'm sorry I've run dry.
