US Pint can from Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grassy, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, grassy, piney, dry, light citrus, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can (2/18/26) from the brewery. Opaque, banana smoothie yellow, nice sparkle, no head or lacing (weirdly). Aroma is initial white grape, then citrus, strong late musty herb. Taste follows aroma with late biscuit. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, average carbonation and crisp, dry finish. I know this says "experimental hops" but tastes a lot like a Fidens' Nelson. Descendant? Tasty but doesn't blow my mind.

Canned 2/18/26, drunk 4/6/26, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Just a very nice, round, even white wine/grape with juicy, fresh squeezed orange and a touch of pine. Lots of mineral, chalk, earth, dry hop. Gently balancing malt adds a touch of honey-like character. No alcohol or resin noted.
Big white wine, earth, mineral, juicy citrus and a fairly mild bitterness. But it's nice and dry so the low bitterness isn't problematic. For an experimental IPA, it comes off pretty classic/straightforward New Zealand. Juicy and malty with good attenuation and no alcohol noted. Classic stuff. Incredibly well-done.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma is bolder mixed citrus and soft white grape. The flavor follows with just a hint of floral under the fruit. Super juicy character with a mildly sweet finish. She was a lot of white grape, which I absolutely love.

Pours a hazy (almost soupy) banana-orange-pineapple, with minimal head. Aroma has a strong, pungent note of green onion/garlic upfront, followed by citrus and tropical fruits. Flavors follow, with a sweet, juicy underlayer. Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness in the finish.
