With our Pale Ale, we have combined the crisp and refreshing characteristics of a lager, the citrusy aromas of tropical Asian fruits and the flavour of a light ale. Gweilo believes this Pale Ale could be the catalyst to help the people of Hong Kong upgrade from tasteless big brand beer, to fine craft ales.

Can at BeerFest Asia, X Edition. Poured a clear golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, grassy tropical citrus fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a light, crisp, slightly watery, malty, fresh zesty citrus fruit, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

330ml bottle from the brewery in Hong Kong. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is lychees, passion fruit, pale malt. Taste is citrus, passion fruit, medium hoppy bitterness. Not exactly a fresh bottle, but still very decent.

Crisp golden and light amber coloured body with a rather large, four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of crisp fresh hops with some lighter malt, but the hops are more noticeable showing some tropical fruits, grasses and quite a bit of perfume. Light to Medium-bodied; Pungent hop flavour at first with tropical fruits, a touch of grass and perfume and a good deal of pine as well, but hardly any malt - this definitely shows the hop side of things without any balance. Aftertaste shows more hop flavours, and they are fresh, but no malt and the beer goes down quite easily, but is a tad too one-dimensional. Overall, a decent beer with some noticeable hop elements, but without and malt structure or complexities at the end, a rather simple beer that doesn’t show too much. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Fusion by ParkNShop in the United Centre at Admiralty, Hong Kong [island] on 29-July-2017 for HK$25,90 sampled in my hotel room here in Admiralty, Hong Kong on 03-August-2017.

Frisch hopfiger Beginn, leicht kräutrig. Eher wässriger Mittelteil, bitter-würzig, steigende Intensität. Okay. 8/9/9/8//8

Bottle from Craftissimo Hong Kong. A bit hazy dark golden with a medium white head. Aroma and taste of grapefruit, light cookies, bread and some caramel. The mouthfeel was rather thin. The finish medium bitter.
