Bottle at the Smoky Bastard, Century Mall, Makati. Poured a hazy straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light tropical citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a fresh malt, light fruity, light pepper spice, dry woody hop palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied average carbonation. A solid pale ale.

25/3/2018. Bottle from Drinkka, Philippines. Pours hazy golden amber with a big and long lasting frothy just off-white head. Aroma of hops, fruit, caramel, bread, yeast, grass, flowers and a little soap. Quite light sweetness, and despite the bottle blurb, medium towards heavy bitterness. Moderate body. And a carbonation level unlike any beer I've had before, each sip literally explodes in the mouth into a mouthful of foam - quite bizarre. That aside, it's not a bad beer, but it's not as enjoyable to drink like that. So the beer was set aside for a couple of hours after which the extreme carbonation had largely subsided, which certainly made it much better. A beer that's work in progress.
