On tap at Kowloon Tap Room pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet caramel malts pine citrus forward and some old hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet caramel malts and that pine citrus combo.

On tap at Heart of Darkness - Singapore, pours a deep dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of chewy caramel malt, resinous hops, and some bready notes - over-malted it seems. Flavour is certainly on the malty side, with sweet caramel malt, followed by resinous hops. Too malty and sweet for the style, but it's still competently brewed.

Tap at 3rd Culture Brewing, Maxwell Food Court and accompanied with a rather amazing 5 Dollar steamed duck rice dish from the stall directly opposite. Poured a hazy medium amber with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus fruits, light resin, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, boiled sweet fruity, warm alcohol bitter palate and a long alcohol burn bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. The alcohol really dominates this beer but its nicely balanced by the fruit. Very drinkable for short sessions!

Great one, though it exploded when I opened it. Managed to save half, though. Cool cap, too!

On tap at BrewDog Bar Hong Kong. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, some hay and light malt. Similar taste. The body was medium and the finish fairly bitter.

Beertopia 2015 #8 or 9 Yardley brothers double IPA. Hazy gold pour. Aroma grassy hops. Taste good fresh hops but a bit of weird vegetal-ness.
