A sorta dry, crisp, refreshing, not quite pale ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue with subtle notes of fruit and a floral hop bitterness.

Bottle from Ales and Lagers, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is big creamy butter and peach. The flavour is light bitter, light sweet with a creamy caramel malt palate. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Now I have to say that this was completely unexpected and I really liked this beer. I took a look at some of the other ratings and it was like some people tasted a completely different beer to the one that’s in my hands right now. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t love this. It’s different and a little quirky and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Poured from the tap. Mildly hazy medium yellow with minimal white head. Apricot and light malt, very subtle hopped ending, but little finish overall.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Ariel. Clear deep golden. Aroma is a bit anemic, with apricot, notes of other fruits and a bit of grainy hints. Slightly sweetish flavor with light graininess, a malty hint, some fruitiness and a finish with a hint of bitterness. Light to medium-bodied. Drinkable but pretty weak.

Bright clear amber beer, little white head. Palate is light, crisp and dry. Lagerish dry malt. Nice fruits - tinned peach and apricot. Trace of strawberry. Minerally dry finish with some hop bitterness. Interesting beer but too dry.

355ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Orange coloured body, feint wisp of a head, not too pretty. The nose is "mystery fruit" - is it Strawberry? Peach? Nectarine? Not sure. Bit dry on the taste, palate a bit sticky, with a quite flat carbonation. Decent enough fruity, but not one I’d have again.

(Bottle) Clear golden, good head. Lovely intriguing aroma with hints of exotic fruit overlaying malt and candy sweetness. Light body with good carbonation. Like the aroma, the taste has some intriguing exotic fruitiness and some distinct candy notes well integrated into a nice light malt pale ale, with some hop bitterness in the finish. I was really impressed by this beer - excellent.
