Quite deep amber and bronze coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee, light nuts, earth and a dose of very subdued and grainy hops, without much bitterness or punch. Medium-bodied; Strong malty notes with a lot of caramelised sugars and nuts that show some grassy and citrus characteristics with a dash of earth and light grain and biscuity notes, all from the malt, with a dash of yeast and a hint of the light hops that have no alpha acids. Aftertaste shows the sweetness from the caramelised sugars first and foremost with a light grainy finish and a touch of yeast, grass, hay and more malt that show that side of things way more than any hops at all. Overall, a malt-centric beer that shows a bit of hops, but not much in terms of bitterness or character. This was nice to try as it was a 'valid' attempt at a 'craft' beer, but in terms of execution, not so great. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Super U, Are, in PaoPao, Mo'orea, French Polynesia on 27-July-2019 for XPF490 sampled at my hotel room here in Mo'orea, P.F. on 28-July-2019 while experiencing Winter in Paradise.

Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: malty, caramel, bit soapy, floral, not a proper ipa. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft bitterness in the start, bit fruity, some citrus, bit oxidized, orange peel, malty, some caramel. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, citrus touch, floral, bit grassy, malty, grains, cow fodder. Not the worst ipa, considering where it comes from. :p Probably a huge eye-opener for the local people in Tahiti. Or maybe they consider it an abomination to beer. :p

F: thin, white, quick gone. C: gold, clear. A: malty, toast, toasted onion, bit citrus. T: malty, vaguely citrus, toast, bit more bitter yet I don’t feel IPA style here, vaguely fruity, bit passion fruits, medium body and mineral carbonation, nothing special yet clear taste at least, 33cl bottle from Champion Moorea supermarket in Moorea.
