Rustbucket is a balance of rye and barley malt. The rye gives it a little spiciness which combines nicely with hops that contribute a citrusy note.

Hazy russet-amber coloured beer under a small off-white head. Rosewater, asafoetida, seemingly tired hops, oxydized, yoghurt or milk shifting. In the taste, the rye takes over - thankfully. Again yoghurt, but clean, rosewater. Faint banana. Light body, but very oily - hopslick. Medium to good carbonation. OK, but nothing special.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy orange to amber with a proportionate, slightly off white head. Nose - plant stalk, light dishcloth, fresh sweat and lime. Taste - lime, green apple skin, plant stalk again. Some cakey rye spice but really dominated by the hop bitterness. Palate - light bodied, good bitterness and good linger. Overall - not as much maltiness as I expected. It really is more hop-driven.

440ml can from Paus Craft Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light tropical citrus hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fruity, grainy mineral, floral hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Tap at Kompaan. Almost clear dark golden with white head. Spicy rye, bread, sweet malts, spicy and weedy hops with some grass and fruit peel as well. Quite some spicy notes from not just the rye or seems. Light cheesy. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit creamy feel. OK.
