Can from Natural Lawson. Light and fruity aroma, lemon. Taste is similar, quite nice, but lacking something. Lemony hops again, bit of biscuit, but the whole thing feels quite light and airy. Easy drinking but would have preferred it with a bit of a kick.

Can - Light earthy and spicy hops with biscuit. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Light earthy hops and a dry finish. OK, but I don’t really get the fruity notes, may be a bit old.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with biscuity malt and floral hops. Dry and clean, but forgettable.

Draught at the brewery. Cloudy straw colour. Fresh, melony, grapefruit nose. Sweeter palate with moderate bitterness. Fresh-tasting and bright. Nice balance.

355ml can into glass. Faint tropical fruit nose. Cloudy amber beer with solid white head. High carbonation. Zingy in the mouth. Fruit salad taste followed by hop bitterness. Really nice, moreish.

really pale golden color. Lightly hopped nose that is reminiscent more of a Pilsner than a pale ale. Very light body with little character and little resemblance to a pale ale

(On tap) Hazy yellow with good white head. Pleasant pine and fruit aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Very refreshing with plenty of tangy exotic fruit up front and then a smooth gentle mid-palate and some bitterness in the finish. A very refreshing beer.

The Australian Pale Ale a random beer picked up from World Beer Market via Rakuten. Currently on sale for 250-300 yen for 355ml, imported by Konishi. 4.8% this beer has the look of a Pilsner but a surprisingly fruity hoppy punch on opening. The label says Galaxy hops and it does indeed give me a passion fruit aroma. Raspy mouthfeel & light bodied. The taste is crisp, tropical fruit hoppiness then chalky light malts. Decent but it would benefit from a more balanced malt bill. Quite good for the price.

Can at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is pine needle grassy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a yeasty citrus hop palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

From a 355ml can on 4/7/2013 (labelled ’The Pale Ale’). Pours a quite cloudy light straw with a medium head - a very odd looking beer. Has a lovely light fruity aroma, with some citrus and passionfruit. There’s lots of passionfruit and more sweet citrus in the flavour, with a slightly dry, relatively firm finish. Has quite lively carbonation and a medium body. This is a very nice beer - quite similar to a Knappstein Reserve Lager, which is a good thing. I’m quite liking this brewery’s work so far.
