turbid light amber white color. Frothy white head. Nice yeasty nose with good mix of tropical fruit and bananas. Light body, a bit over attenuated and too dry but good yeastiness.

Tap at the Nipa Brew Taproom, Makati. Poured a hazy orange amber with a bubbly round head. The aroma is grainy malt, yeast, some citrus notes. The flavour is yeast bitter, light fruit, dry yeast, light spice. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle from Drinkka, ph. Pours hazy orange gold with a big frothy off-white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, mango, banana, coconut, pineapple and sherbet. Light to moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Light body, slight watery texture, average carbonation. Metallic fruity finish. Not bad but not great either.

Fresh bottle straight from the Philippines, received as a gift from the brewer himself - thanks Evan! Modern wheat ale with moussy, tightly lacing, egg-white, stable head and misty yellow straw blonde robe with warm peachy hue. Aroma of ripe peach, raw pineapple flesh, lime zest, green pear, white bread, melon, some baker's yeast, freshly cut grass and green tree leaves. Mildly fruity onset, some pear, melon and pineapple notes, restrained in sweetness with a soft sourish edge; softish carbonation, fluffy, bit creamy body. Bready maltiness with basic wheat sourish edges, leading to a 'green', mildly aromatic finish reminiscent of lime peel, fresh thyme, green melon and grass, a hoppiness which establishes a gently spicy, drying and softly bitter effect on the root of the tongue. Quite typical modern Anglo-Saxon style wheat ale (as it is classified here), as the hop character is neither very bitter, nor exuberantly aromatic and the wheat gets full exposure - but there is a kind of 'fresh green herb leaf' quality to it somewhere which sets it a bit apart and which I can certainly appreciate. Easygoing, accessible and modern quencher - enjoyable especially seen the context, up until I first met Evan last year, I had no idea that even the Philippines now have entered the first, modest stage of the global craft beer movement. I'd love to try more from this micro brewery!
