A full bodied pale ale with aromas of lime, pepper and some light floral notes. Soft but full citrus notes in the mouth.

Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish white head that fades a bit slowly. Aroma of grassy hops with a dash of citrus and grain and a touch of herbs and light malt. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours at first with a light dose of metal and astringent malts, but a smooth and relatively high alpha acid hop kick towards the end that is grassy, but also very perfumey. Aftertaste shows the softer malts with some yeast and wheat and a touch of alcohol near the end, but the bitterness from hops and grass is evident, especially at the end. Overall, a nice and refreshing APA that shows some good hop kicks, perhaps more than the IPA, but also a smooth and balanced malt profile that shows a good character, as well. I sampled this [heavy] 33 cL bottle purchased from Circle K in Saigon (40 Huynh Thuc Khang) on 08-August-2019 for 65,000VND sampled a day later on my tenth wedding anniversary with my three kids and wife, here in Saigon, Vietnam on 09-August-2019.

0,33 fra fat på East West Brewing Co., Saigon mars-18, delt med Kitty: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Fruktig, typeriktig aroma og smak med tørkede aprikoser, citrusfrukter, tropiske frukter, litt urter og furunål. Balansert og lekker fra første til siste dråpe.

From a 330 ml bottle at L’Lustine in HCMC. Pours a hazy gold with an off white head. Aroma is woody, redolent of grass and pine. Flavor is bitter citrus and pine. Decent.

Tap at the Brewpub, HCMC. Poured a hazy light amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth crisp, woody, light resin hop bitter, light fruit palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a long bitter finish.
