[33cl can from Beer52 at 4.2% ABV.] An extremely thin aluminium can, with the ring pull not strong enough to function correctly, but, as with many modern cans, the opening yielding to thumb pressure alone; yielding a pale straw coloured pour with a billowing white head; light tropical fruit aroma; sour fruity taste, perhaps under ripe mango; then a malty finish with a zesty bitterness. Rather muddled.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Tian Tian. Pours clear yellow-gold with a fast-receding foamy white head. Lightly sweet with notes of pale grains, pine needles, dried citrus peel, a lick of grass. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with notes of lightly sun-kissed pale grains, dirty hay, more dried citrus peel. So so overall.

330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark golden colour with a thin white head and some clingy lace and bubbles. The aroma is big smoky bacon. The flavour is herbal, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, dry, smoked, earthy, yeasty, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. The 10% alcohol was well hidden.

Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy pale lemon coloured body. Cardboard, sweet citrus & bubble gum aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Mango, peach, chalky & sweet citrus tastes. Easy going.
