From a 440ml can on 17/11/2019. Pours an ultra clear deepish golden with a medium head. The nose is fruity and a little herbal. Tastes quite harmonious and balanced from a malt hop standpoint. There's caramel and biscuit, and sweet citrus, with a medium bitterness. The mouthfeel is slick and the carbonation moderate. This is well made and very pleasant drinking but is not remotely exceptional (for exceptional, see the No Dreams Til Brooklyn in the Hapi Sessions series).

Draft at the American Taproom, Singapore. Poured a clear medium amber, copper colour, with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, buttery yeast, pineapple citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, fresh, light metallic, fruity, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium to full bodied with average to soft carbonation. A big malt bill here!

Can from Wine Republic (Fitzroy). Copper with clarity and some head. Pine nose and pine is dominated flavour with some hint of citrus. Punchy and yum.

Can. Clear amber with a white head. 3+ Aroma of under-ripe tropical fruit, citrus, gooseberries, grass, pine. Clean - the sort of beer I used to opine was maybe too clean. Barely medium bodied with lowish carbonation. A little sweetness with very modest malt presence but loads of fruit of all sorts, then pine, grass and some mint at the grippy bitter finish. No sign of the alcohol. Good beer with a complex hop profile. For me 4>2=1>>3 in this series of very nice-looking cans.

Was expecting more of this. Lacking juice and a tad too bitter for my liking.
