Can at Craft Beer Co, Brixton. Interesting find! Sampled Jan 2019. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma: malt, rice, alcohol. Taste: prominent rice and light grain flavours with hints of lemon & booze. Quite macro tasting really. Light body with low carbonation

Draft after the brewery tour: Poured golden color with white head. Metallic aroma. Watery malt, not very impressive.

35cl can from a market in Causeway Bay Hong Kong, nice design, 5%. Clear light gold, short white head. Nothing particular on the nose. Aroma is slightly malty with a focus on hops, flowery hops, straw, hints of honey. Taste is fairly bitter, finish is dry, crisp. Tastes like a pilsener.

Clear golden coloured body with a very thin white head, only about a centimetre tall, but pure white. Aroma of rice, alcohol, malt and not much else - fairly mild. Light-bodied; Strong rice and light grain flavours with hints of lemons and alcohol, but very light and showing no assertive aftertaste or funk at all. Aftertaste shows only a handful of rice and lemon characteristics with nothing else bad. Overall, a surprisingly decent lager with some lighter notes for beating this heat and some subdued lemon flavours for the refreshing qualities. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased from City’Super! in Harbour City, Kowloon, Hong Kong on 04-July-2014 for HK$15,00 sampled a bit later in my hotel room here in Wan Chai, Hong Kong on 04-July-2014.

Can from the local Lawson. Served in a pilsner glass. A clear deep gold with a thick fizzy/fluffy head. Big yeasty/grainy aroma with grassy notes. Slick oily medium bodied, sugary sweet grainy flavor with very light spicy hop notes in the finish. Ok but fairly average.

Can. Grassy, citrus hop aroma. Sweet, malty flavor, fruity. Nice saaz hop flavors. Tasty. Overall not bad but a bit too sweet, slightly cloying. Tasty hops, but they really need more in the finish to bitter it.
