Bottle at the Airbnb in SXM, one last new tick from that trustworthy Carrefour, country #68. Megvannak azok a nagyüzemi(be hajló) alek, amik valahogy olyan legeres beütésűek? Ropogós, crispy test, fura, de minden alkalommal alaposan viszafgott komlósság meg a többi? Na, ez is az a sör, de még az ihatóbbak közül.

330ml bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light boiled sweets. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a light, crisp, malty, slightly watery, light citrus fruit, faint hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Good Hope on 02 Sep 2018 at 12:21 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.
