Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a very slightly cloudy copper colour with a thin white broken head and a little lace. The aroma is malty, but a little weak. The flavour is medium to weak bitter, hoppy, malty, but with a slightly metallic, medicinal aftertaste which does nothing to enhance the beer! It’s a little watery and lacks any kind of dominant flavour. Would be great in a can on the beach, but its no craft beer.

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This is a blurry to cloudy orange-amber colored one with a small sidesticking off-white top. Smells light watery-fruity with some sweetness and tones of sweet caramelly malts. Also some canned peaches in here. It's average on the carbonation and mild oily in the mouth. More thin and a bit watery fruity flavors. Red thinned down grapes, some more canned metallic peaches and a sow but present bitterness. Quite easy drinking and not bad at all. 18.10.2012

Keg at BrewDog Camden. It pours deep amber, with a thick off-white head. The nose is pine, leaf, sweaty sock, farmyard and floral. The taste is wood, hay, straw, leather, leaf, floral, grass, tinned fruit and metal, with a long dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. So-so.

On tap at vintage. Cloudy lemony looking thing. Bubbly head. Smells like my own homemade hard cider. Fairly mild. Initial flavor goes down easy. No rueness on the finish. Over, OK.
