Can sample at Beer & Beyond. Clear amber, off-white head. Piney hops, citric, floral, malt, caramel, sweet, biscuity, a bit of minerals, mild bitter finish, medium-bodied. Pretty nice and easy-drinking.

350ml can from a department store in Fukuoka. Reddish brown, very moderate hop aroma/flavor. Instead the well known red caramel flavor carries it. Bit of a strange mixed aftertaste, almost nutty and almost fruity but neither of them comes through clearly. Pretty tasty overall.

12 oz bottle (6% ABV) into a La Chouffe tulip (twice) on 12th Dec 2017 in Laguna Niguel while staying with my daughter and her husband. Deep, dark red body, misty look, wispy head. Half semi-sweet Irish Red, half semi-sour Flemish Red. Liked it.

330ml bottle at local sushi place in Bethesda MD. Poured a clear red color with a small, foamy white head. Aroma was sweet malts - biscuits, light floral orange notes. Flavor was sweet malts. Sweet character, but not overly heavy, making it a decent beer to have at dinner.

Bottle at Takumi Craft Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy reddish brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is metallic hop, light red berry fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp watery grainy biscuit malt, fruity, metallic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Clear copper with little brown head. Aroma is lots of tropic fruit and grass and some malty bread. Taste is fresh citrussy sourness with some hoppy bitterness. A little dust in the finish but more of the aroma hops. Still good.
