Tap. First, let me say I am bummed that it is not, as advertised, a Vietnamese beer. Pours clear amber, medium creamy off-white head with good lacing. Aroma is pleasant with roasted malts and citrus hops. Taste has notes of citrus and roasted malt as well, but there is also a medium sweet fruity flavor that I cannot place. Finish starts bitter, ends a little sickly due to the fruit notes.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy amber color. Mild fruity hops aroma; is that my impression or are there some Chinese spices? Interesting. Caramel flavor, there are some residual sugars but it’s not too sweet, light chocolate flavor. Quite special.
