MAL trip: day 7/12 - Chicken & Beer, Petaling Jaya near KL. A 300ml. glass, draught, served one or two degrees too chilled IMHO. Aroma: barely discernible, ironic because their Hoppy Lager is distinctly piney. Appearance: clear light amber, 2-3mm. head dissipates rapidly. Palate: light-bodied and sticky on the tongue, soft carbonation; finish is rather astringent, lingering and satisfying. Taste: lightly sweet, minimally astringent. Tropical fruit veers dangerously close to envelope glue, hops make a guest appearance near the end. Enjoyed this one on the day, but objectively not sure what to make of it. Certainly good on the palate.

Taster at Taproom. Clear golden, off-white head. Soft green citrus hoppy aroma. Sweerish, soft taste, citrusy hoppiness on some clean maltiness. Subdued for an IPA, but works!

A hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous hops, light grapefruit, pleasant and classic. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, light mineral notes, pleasant. On tap at Momokaka.
