Taiphoon is a pale, thirst-quenching ale with a distinctly hoppy, yet flower palate. The addition of lemongrass gives a zing to the flavour, making it an ideal accompaniment to spicy dishes.

500ml bottle at home, Beers of Europe, shared with jeevan. Light gusher! But poured clear pale gold. Light lemon aromas, slightly grassy too. Taste was bland, but balanced in a way. Not bad.

Bottle from Utobeer, London. Clear golden with a big and fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and light hoppy - grass and citrus. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter. Dry and light bitter finish. Insane carbonation, which ruins the palate and makes it hard to taste the beer. 101113

bottle from Waitrose Sidford. Golden colour, mid-sized head. Malty base, shy hoppy hints and a touch of lemongrass. Light and refreshing.

Bottle courtesy of Bernie's, Solihull. Looks awful. A Budweiser clone. However, the coriander does give it a certain zing normally associated with higher alcohol content. Didn't really get the lemongrass though. Probably would be a good beer with spicy food as the beer provides genuine competition to the chilli, however, on it's own it's not a classic. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle at Kloster, Madrid. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma with hints of yeast and lemongrass. Refreshing and nice! (2012-08-16)

Half pint on Cask at the Feathers, London SW1 (JAN ’12). Slightly cloudy pale yellow in colour with a very small white head that soon subsided. Was expecting a stronger lemon smell from this beer, but only very subtle, faint smell of wheat and hops but overall no strong senses to hit the nose with, very slight fruity aroma. Taste wise again, not a lot going on here very slight lemon flavour along with subdued hops and a weakish bitter finish and aftertaste. Not really getting corriander, but some spice flavour there. Fairly clean and refreshing finish, but overall nothing special, probably the weakest beer I’ve sampled from the Hopback family!
