(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Vintage 2005. Pours a cloudy amber golden with a tall, lively shaving foam style, thick, off-white head. Lightly citrusy nose. Quite full-bodied with lots of sweetish caramel malt and a dry, bitter finish. Not exactly sophisticated, but OK. 310807

2007-08-31, bottle vintage 2005, 2 years old, 7% ABV, 7-4-6-3-14=34
Hazy orange color; persistent thin head. Nice hoppy aroma a bit resiny. The body seems have thinned over time, and the yeast and the age produced a fair negative impact on this beer, that may have been better fresh; irony, it’s a Vintage, as if it’s intended to age…
The hopping is quite good, with some resins; and in the end the malt (both body and sweetness) is more evident; and there is a light apricot fruitness.
I guess that when (if) I will move to Singapore, I will have to survive on this ;-)
2007-01-21, draught at the brewpub, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Cloudy amber color; big head. Clear aroma of hop pellets (English hop, Fuggles?). There is enough malt flavor, even if the body is not thick at all; the bitterness is medium-high, partially aromatic. The final, even if not extreme, is quite long. There is a cheesy touch, in the taste (interesting). Probably closer to a traditional English IPA, not extreme. Enjoyable, and rare in Singapore.

Deep dark golden color, slightly off-white creamy head, lace. Strong English hoppy nose. Decent hopping, bitter aftertaste. Clean brew. Yeast used by Brewerkz can be found also here. Balanced tasty IPA.

Bottled, 2004 vintage Nut brown, small head. The aroma holds loads of grapefruity hops and some apricot. It’s powerful and sweet with somewhat syrupy and raw mouthfeel. The finish is resiny with lingering bitterness.
