Generously dry-hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe for a bright, piney punch, 1500 brings together orange blossom and grapefruit notes with a touch of honey sweetness. We don’t like choosing favorites, but 1500 is our perfect everyday hoppy beer.

Bottled. Orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is spruce, apricot, some nectar, mild honey and some sweet malts as well. Flavour is quite sweet fruits, mild honey, sweet malts and some slight nutty and even toasted notes. Mellow and easy to drink. Nice floral and fruity bitterness in the aftertaste. Stays for quite a bit.

330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Bottled on 23rd June 2021. Didn’t seem particularly fresh. Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is biscuit malt, light tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, ovaltine malt, mango passionfruit, light floral, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

On tap at Oakland Coliseum during Yanks - A’s game. Bright yellow gold color. Creamy beige head. Herbal, grainy malt aroma. Flavor follows nose. Crisp malty flavor is balanced by a spicy herbal hoppiness. Clean, dry finish.

Bottle thanks to Drake! Gold, light haze, white head. Earth, pine, malt nose. Pine, earth, caramel, honeycomb flavor. A bit past it's prime (bottled 8/9/19 when the world was a different place).
