There's a thread for it, I think?  Flesh is pretty pink rather than amber, and quite pretty.

Right now, I have been thinking about west coast figs in Georgia.  I think that it's interesting the degree to which Ray Givens is the only source for how figs do in Ga for a number of varieties.  This is a state with a ton of fig trees, a variety or two introduced, and what seems to be a pretty good climate for them.  So I want to know why Ray (or whoever) thinks Tena or Panaché does poorly here.  We obviously can grow the Barnisotte/VdB family type figs close to perfection here (absolutely insane for *anyone* to grow BT here), and B. Madeira seems to like it here (scott_ga) as opposed to Florida.  However, we have extremely little information on amber fleshed figs, just Excel, a latterula some or other, and LSU Gold.  This is a major reason I bought cuttings of 153-17.  Monstreuse is supposed to do well on the east coast, and Just Fruits and Exotics sells that variety with some enthusiasm for Florida folks, and this fig is effectively a Monstreuse/Calimyrna fig, so there is some merit to experimenting with this fig.

278-128 probably is interesting to compare with LSU Gold here.  We certainly get the heat for both.  Wonder if it deals with humidity.
