Tap at Popeye. Very pale blond not much head at all. Aroma very fruity, orange, tropical, hoppy. Not massive smell but quite nice. Taste initially lots of tropical fruit, further down, spiky citrus bitter, grapefruit, orange, some pineapple after bitterness fades. Biscuity malt. Very nice lemon flavour towards end. Spritzy but not gassy. Initially felt a bit thin, but full of body and flavour after a few dips. Nice.

Tap at Takumi Craft Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, mineral, light tropical fruit, light dry floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, dry malt, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

33cl bottle from Midori, Nagano. Pours slightly hazy golden with a modest pale white head. Fruity aroma dominated by citrus with notes of tropical fruits and hints of malt and grass. Moderate sweet with lovely, fresh hoppy flavours and a nice bitterness. Medium body with carbonation slightly on the soft side. Nice APA!

Poured into a taster showing cloudy yellow, moderate filtration, and barely any foam. The nose shows roasted corn and hints of roasted seafood. (Is this bottle off) The palate is moderately carbonated and light bodied. A bit of extremely light and barely perceivable lager-like malts on the palate. Barely any flavor and very watery. Is my bottle off?

Some citrus and a little hay, but a light beer all in all. Soft carbonation. Light bitter finish. Hazy golden pour. Easy drinking. Tap at Churchkey.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks zvsn. Hazy yellow with no head. Hoppy aroma, piney, fruity, a bit "green". Flavor is quite dry, with fruity and piney hops, and a bitter finish, kinda "green". Quite light-bodied and flat. Pleasant.
