Bottle from Smoky Bastard, Makati City. Poured a murky medium amber with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, dry mineral, cardboard, light lemon citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a dry malt, fresh, fruity citrus, weedy resin hop, light medicinal palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A decent beer that improved as it warmed and got some air, but I expected better given the price I paid.

Tap at The Bottle Shop by Global Beer Exchange, Makati. Poured a murky medium brown with a long-lasting thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, light citrus, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, dry malt, yeast, slightly acidic, lavender floral dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty awful. This cost 400 Pesos and was one of the worst Filipino beers I ever tasted. It was like home brew gone wrong. Gives Craft a bad name.

25/3/2018. Bottle from Drinkka, Philippines. Pours hazy golden amber with a big and long lasting frothy just off-white head. Aroma of hops, fruit, caramel, bread, yeast, grass, flowers and a little soap. Quite light sweetness, and despite the bottle blurb, medium towards heavy bitterness. Moderate body. And a carbonation level unlike any beer I've had before, each sip literally explodes in the mouth into a mouthful of foam - quite bizarre. That aside, it's not a bad beer, but it's not as enjoyable to drink like that. So the beer was set aside for a couple of hours after which the extreme carbonation had largely subsided, which certainly made it much better. A beer that's work in progress.
