Can. Clear golden amber, loose white head. Aroma of yuzu, dish soap, kumquat, breadcrust. Moderately sweet, loads of mainly tenor register citrus. Still some soap. High enough bitterness to balance the sweetness but never seems as swingeing as the original. OK but worse in every respect.

440ml can at Ben’s Cafe. Poured a mostly clear golden orange colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big yuzu. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, herbal, metallic, juicy yuzu, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. The yuzu totally dominates but that’s no bad thing.

From a 440ml can on 6/9/2020. Pours a clearish medium golden with a small head. The nose features lots of herbal and resiny hops. The flavour begins with sweet orange and a hint of peach which is politely bludgeoned by a yuzu sour, zesty, resiny tongue coating bitterness, with lost of herbal and grassy notes. It's an absolute hop bomb but has just enough restraint to succeed. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation moderate. Complex and challenging, and probably too much for some, but like the original PW, it's impressive highly rewarding.

650ml bottle. Pours orange gold with a big fluffy head. Pine, orange, lemon, perfume, tart soapy finish. Nice long citrus finish. Lovely.

650ml bottle from Bottle Shop in Sai Kung. Hazy golden orange pour with some white head. Aroma is way more yuzu-y than expected - zesty and sour juicy with dank hops. Taste also has a sharp sour yuzu bite before a bright but dank bitter bite. Some booze on the end. Frothy palate. Very unusual addition but it totally works and the yuzu definitely shows through. Wouldn’t get again at HK$120 but good to try.
