A space jumper with the ability to hop through dimensions with a click of his fingers, there is no limit to where you can find Horizon-X. He and only him alone knows his next destination, hence to the rest of us it is merely marked with an "X".

With the purpose of endlessly pushing boundaries on the drinks scene, his signature flavours encompass a bold and solid American Pale Ale with toasty, biscuit-like, light caramel malt base, citrusy hops, orange-like characters from fresh tangerines and hints of Tie Guan Yin tea aroma.

Can. Nearly clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of mandarin, light biscuit, some herbs. Not clear whether that's really tea, but you'd guess so - there's a little bite to the end that cloaks the sweetness despite the lowish bitterness. Refreshing with citrus upfront but a neat moreish finish.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Clear orangey pour with fine white head. Aroma is some orange, sweet fruit, a bit plasticky, not too much. Taste is very plasticky, with orange pith bitterness and biscuit malt. Light palate with prickly carbonation. Not my favorite.

Tasting at Matt's, can
Cloudy golden colour. The malt is grainy (more evident in the aroma), the hop is moderately citrusy.
A bit off, not bad, but maybe ok for the region.

330mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical notes, citrusy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with citrus hops and dry biscuity malt. Dry and biscuity finish. It's alright.

Draft at Smith Street Taps, Singapore. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting thin white head. The aroma is malt, light tangerine citrus fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter sweet, with a light, crisp, mineral, fresh, orange citrus, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light, fresh, fruity and with minimal bitterness. Very drinkable.
