Tap @ Full Moon Brew Works, Phuket. Lightty cloudy yellow-golden pour with some white foam on top. I wondered about why the aroma is so weak and full of old hops - but when they are bringing this over from Australia, then its kind of to be expected. Quite malty, sweetish - and fruity nose Lemongrass is lost on me but maybe some citrus there? Tastes mild, malty sweetness still dominating, light bitterness. Nice to drink, definitely so. Do I feel any Thai special character - not really.

330ml bottle. Pours orange. Dank, onion, soap, lime, biscuit. Not much lemongrass or kaffir lime, and way out of balance hop wise. Swing and a miss.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a very earthy hop character, with cardboard, light lemongrass and some citrus. Flavour is a little more pleasant, with light lemongrass, light lime, some spicy hops and a touch of earthiness. Pleasant but restrained use of the adjuncts. Not bad.

From a 330ml bottle on 28/5/2017.Pours a clear medium golden with small head. The nose is subdued with a touch of spice being the only element of real note.Take a sip and you get light biscuit malt, citrus fruit and a decent dash of lemongrass and kaffir lime as promised. Medium bodied with reasonably lively carbonation.A reasonably well executed experiment.
