Bottled. A hazy red beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma has notes of fruit, malt, caramel, and bread. Teh flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, fruit, and bread, leading to a dry finish.

330ml bottle into glass. Cloudy brown beer with frothy white head. Smoky malt nose, strangely reminiscent of chips. Some lacing. Light fizz, smooth malt taste. Short finish. Super easy-drinking.

Full of toasted and roasted malts. Tastes like a home brew shop smells. Mild hoppy bite in the back. Good.

(Bottle) Hazy deep red brown with stupidly large head that resulted in a very tedious pour. Nice aroma with hops, yeast, smokey notes. Light body, very well carbonated, perhaps a little too carbonated. Nice toasty malt flavour with enough balance provided by some earthy yeasty notes initially and a little hop bitterness towards the finish. Not my favorite style but the additional balancing flavours make this interesting and redeemed the beer from the annoying frothy mess it started out as.

There is a strange Grey-Brown hue and a very fizzy head. The aroma is almost Cola like and the taste sweet at first with a very sour finish, which is the only thing I really like about it.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a deep reddish brown with a thin glass hugging head and no carbonation. The aroma is rich, fruity and of malt. The flavour is uber malty. It’s not a thick, rich beer, but you really feel as though you could chew the malt. There are some cherry notes on the palate too. This is like no other "red" I’ve ever tasted. It’s packed full of diverse flavours and deserves a better rating IMHO. The malty flavour did disappear fairly soon after it was poured though, so drink it quickly!

From 330ml bottle on 10/7/2011. Pours a red amber colour with almost no head. Has a modest aroma of caramel, toffee and fruit. Taste wise, it exhibits the same characters. Quite sweet with just enough hops to provide balance. Passable but far from remarkable.

Bottle. Gushed a bit. Deep red with an inch of beige head. Aroma has a mixture of dark sugars and a little grass. Taste is fairly sweet with quite a lot of bite from the high remaining carbonation. Fizzy palate improves a little with a swirl, but this is still pretty dull.

Pours ruby/copper with a decent white head that then proceeded to grow into a towering mound well above the rim of the glass, and left lots of lacing.Aroma is a mix of brown sugar, resinous hops, caramel, confectionery, white wine and bread. What an eclectic mix! Quite nice though!Many of the above aromas are mirrored in the flavours, in particular, sweet caramel, bready malt and resinous hops. Finishes with a very tame bitterness, which lets the malt dominate in an overly sweet manner.Body feels slightly watery, and I think a bit more carbonation might have helped to create a drier finish.

Bottle. Deep orangey brown in colour with little head. Toffee flavours come through well. Holds falvour well throughout. Far from a typical brew choice for a young Aussie micro operation.
