On tap at Furbrew, pours a cloudy dull copper yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light vanilla, creamsicle and herbal notes. Flavour is similar, though pretty subtle, with creamsicle, some fruitiness and biscuity malt. Clean and nice to drink. Can't fault this for the style.

On tap at Furbrew, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of esters, green apple and candied sugar. Flavour follows through, with tons of esters, saison yeast, candied sugar and alcohol. Fairly authentic, though rather boozy. Could use some tweaking and more expression of farmhouse character. Decent.

On tap at Furbrew, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy herbal notes - smells strange. Flavour is very spicy, with tons of chili peppers, some herbal notes and earthiness. Unusual spice bomb. It's alright.

On tap at Furbrew, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney and citrus hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with citrus hops, some line, a little alcohol and biscuity malt. Appropriately bitter and crisp, with a nice lean body. Very good. Great to see a hop-forward, non-overmalted IPA in Vietnam.

On tap at Furbrew, pours a hazy amber golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out tart berries, lacto and some yogurt. Flavour is unusual, with sweet and sour notes, tart mulberries, vinegar, and sweet candied sugar. Unusual and acetic on the finish, but it's pleasant.
