The Siren of the Seas is a fickle creature: benevolent or spiteful, she can bestow a safe passage and bountiful catch, or provoke storms and shipwrecks. Sailors have long cast gifts of flowers, food or trinkets into the sea in exchange for good fortune. Talisman - our delicately dry-hopped and golden-hued ale with its tropical and citrusy aroma - may be just the thing to encourage the siren’s blessing.

473mL can. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma has very gentle pine and wheaty malts. Flavour is pretty wheaty with some pine and resin detectable. This is a very hop-backward pale ale.

473ml can at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy light amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is grainy malt, light grassy, tropical fruit. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a crisp, malt, leather, mineral, light fruity, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

On tap. Pours a dark gold with light head. Not really getting much of anything. Dull toasted malts and old grassy hops. Not offensive.
