Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is fresh zesty citrus hop, some yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big tropical fruit, grassy hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Hazy blonde, fruity kiwi hops, clean pale malts with a little biscuitiness, and moderate bitterness. Basic, quite tasty nzpa.

Draught at The Local Taphouse, Melbourne. On July 26, 2013.Clear golden color, white head. Sweet, caramel, hoppy, fruity scent. Hoppy, fruity, citrus, berry taste. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Grainy, bitter aftertaste.

Pours dark amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows tropical fruit, resinous hops and lots of sweet clean malt. Textbook new-world pale ale.Similar amount of malt upon tasting, very sweet, lots of caramel. The hops are not forgotten, with more tropical fruit and resin. Finishes with a bold bitterness that can’t quite keep the malt in check.Carbonation could be higher to dry out the finish a little.

Pours a cloudy golden colour with almost no head. Has a lovely powerful aroma which is dominated by passionfruit and floral notes. Begins very sweet, with lots of orange and some honey, which is quickly followed by a reasonably assertive (at least by APA standards) and long grapefruit hop bitterness. A fantastic, distinctive pale ale.

[4/11] Tap. Just hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma of kumquat and grapefruit, a little tropical fruit. Thin bodied. Not much malt flavour at all, a little sourness to go with assertive kumquat bitterness. Tasty and quaffable but a little crude. [3.1][4/12] Growler. Flavours seem better integrated this time and there’s no sourness. Pleasant enough, but really needs some presence from the malt side or punchier hops to stand out. [3.2] [3/14] Can. Hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of passionfruit, oranges, hay. Honeyed hay sweetness, oranges, passionfruit. Dry with a firm tenor-register bitter finish. Said to have been tweaked but seems hugely improved. [3.6] Has become the local beer I buy in 6 packs.
