Bright gold in colour with a creamy head. Citrusy, lemon zest aroma with pleasant hop field notes. Soft body is countered by a balanced zesty bite. More gentle citrus oils in the mouth. A gently hopped crisp and flavourful anytime beer.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - bottled on 10.03.2020 - BB 10.03.2021, from a supermarket, 20200618) The beer poured golden and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, floralness and spiciness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, spiciness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A nice hoppy brew with spicy notes.

On tap at Heart of Darkness - Singapore, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal, grassy hops upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is similar, with grassy hops, herbal notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Grassy and biscuity. It's alright.

Tap at BeerFest Asia XI Edition, Singapore. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light crisp, woody floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Got hardly any of the citrus notes I was expecting. It was just very bitter. A bit of a disappointment.
