On tap at Bungalow. An opaque cloudy gold with a foamy eggshell white head. A musty hop bouquet: garlicky, sharp green onions, pine. Interesting. The taste has a bit of that complimented with tropical fruits and a clean semi-dry bitter finish. The medium body has a somewhat sweet syrupy texture. Quite nice though the nose could be a bit more aggressive.

On tap at Molto Stand, it pours a beautiful light gold with a creamy head of white foam. The aroma is chewey light malts with a fruity/floral character to it. The prickly carbonation gives it a soft round mouthfeel & a medium body. Crisp crackery malts, a dash of earthy floral hops and a dry finish refreshes while leaving you wanting more. Not sure what the twist is supposed to be but I find it a clean tasty beer.

Pours nice black, beige tan head. Looking nice. Aroma has also some strong coffee. Taste, however, is weakish, has vey little coffee, much more cocoa nibs, milk chocolate - balanced against a very weak and bit watery body. Coffee becomes somewhat stale in this beer, drinkable but was expecting more.

Pours rather pale, looking watery. Thin layer of white foam, leaving some good lacings. Aroma has pineapple, bit of malty barley, just a bit bubble gum. Taste has pineapple again, faint hop bitterness, leaves some light hop bite in the aftertaste. Actually this one does not feel very beer-like. More like those radlers I first tried from A Le Coq, beer mixed with lemonade. Not really my thing. Bit too watery and feeling too much like lemonade. Some woody flavours in the aftertaste.

Pours darker shade of amber. Bit of foam, leaving lots of lacings. Aroma somewhat malty, caramel, toffee. Wet cardboard, funny, I usually get that with lagers. Taste is also super malty, thick and sturdy. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. Good beer, but I was hoping to get something hoppy.

On tap at CBM Jimbocho. Slightly hazy golden color with a creamy off-white head. Mild pineapple aroma with a touch of wheat on the nose. Medium to light body with a creamy mouthfeel (almost like a pineapple smoothie). Not sweet at all. The pineapple is well-balanced with the malt and wheat. Dry and slightly tart finish. Expectations exceeded. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #006 Hey! Painapo! on 11 May 2015 at 00:15 - Score: 6

On tap at Watering Hole in January. Deep brown color with nice lacing throughout. Roasted malts, smoke, sea salt, prune on the nose. Fairly well-balanced with roasted notes standing out on the palate along with a sour tang and a hint of salt. Medium body with average carbonation. Bit of citrus bitterness on a dry finish. Good stuff! --- Beer merged from original tick of Slightly Acidic Smoked Porter (10 To Go) on 11 May 2015 at 00:14 - Score: 7

Dark brown color. Off white head. Beautiful rich coffee nose, but the mouth is a bit thin and lacking in acidity. Finish is kinda flat. Starts off with lots of promise, but finishes underwhelming.
