440ml can from Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky dark golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, stone fruits, aromatic. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, rich, herbal, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Super nice, but I’m not entirely sure it’s worth all the hype.

Keg at Liquid Dreams 26 - Haxy darker orange. Thick frothy foamy white head. Aroma has stone fruit and hoppy bitterness with this weird meat flavoured crisps element I cannot place. Flavourwise it's initially bitter before more pulpy fruit elements come through. Underlying chewy malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Pithy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Dece. Worth the hype? Dunno.

Annual Putty rate... 9th iteration, thanks to Neal for the can, procured from their webshop I believe.
440ml can. Murky almost opaque golden with a white head. Aroma of fresh mango, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, herbal. Taste is the same, juicy fresh mango and pineapple, grapefruit, peach, herbal and dank with a hint of savoury, hop bitterness to finish. Medium-full bodied. Excellent.
Even if it's not the best ever Putty I think this year's might be closest to the original in terms of taste when I compare to my old notes. Certainly got a nice nostalgia hit drinking this one. Wonderful stuff.

Creamy white head on a milky golden coloured body.
Green hops, dank & grapefruit aroma.
Medium bodied, sparkling on the tongue with a smooth back.
Grapefruit, citrus pith, lime, dank & cereal tastes with an extremely bitterly hopped finish.
Hops to the limit.
