330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is toffee caramel, woody hops. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, rich treacle toffee malt, nutty, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Maybe a little too sweet for an IPA, but one of the better Chinese beers I’ve tasted.

(On tap) Hazy amber with small white head. Pleasant aroma, floral hints. Medium body with good full carbonation. Good taste - hops predominantly but without being very bitter and some nice caramel malt. Good tasty beer.

Bottle - Sweet Caramel malts with no real hops. Clearish copper with a decent white head. Slightly sweet and malty with not much else. Hard to call this an IPA.

At a tasting, thanks, smallish bubbly head, cloudy and quite deep orange color, fruity dusty aroma with some minerals, fruity slightly jammy aroma with hints of metal and cardboard, light bitterness. A bit strange, not good.

Bottle shared at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Pretty clear orange. Aroma of dusty malt, grainy, a bit of acetone, a bit of apples, and some stale floral and citric hops. Flavor has sweetish malt, a bit of caramel, and bitter stale floral hops. Light to medium-bodied. Not good, but not that bad either, and pretty drinkable.

33 cl bottle @ wPBF Ⅲ
Aroma is sweet and heavy with tropical fruits and mellow resiny notes. Flavour has minerals, toffee, grapefruit and some English hops. Too English for me.
