Bottle. Light amber color with a small, rapidly diminishing, white head. Aroma of slightly roasted malt and a little grassy hop. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted red malt result with some definite grassy hop. Finish is nicely bitter - this is one heck of a pale lager.

[Bottled at Hong Kong Brew House, Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong] Hazy pale orange, rich, airy dishwater-like head. Perfumy peachy hoppy nose. Fairly sweet with clean hard crystal malt character. Medium bodied with a tad of citrus. Low bitterness. With it’s ultra-primitive malt character it’s only marginally better than than the rice lagers of southern China.

2004 or 2005 bottle from Liquor Mart, consumed on 10/12/2005. Pours a coppery-amber color, very clear. Massive bubbles rising, with a thin, white head that barely even covers and recedes quickly to a touch on the edges. Smells of light berries, touch of honey wheat and a hint of lightly toasted grains. Deep barley smell is nice, but faint. Can’t find any hops in the nose. Yeast is not apparent. Flavor begins with some dough/breadiness, a touch of grassy/hay-like hops and then gets moderately sweet. Hops on the end, with some plastic as well. Kind of buttery. Though there is some hops bitterness, malt presence goes nowhere but downhill from the start. Mouthfeel is poor - huge bubbles bother my throat and create a broken consistency.. Medium-light to light body. Bits of spotty lacing. Not crisp on the end. Begins to get soapy the more I drink. Not enough body. I’ll stop now. . . .

Bottle. There’s more malt than hops in the flavor, but it’s easy to drink and has a clean finish. Not a lot going on, light body. Hops really don’t get to you until the finish where there’s a nice balance.
