Can. Moderately hazy yellowish orange with a small white head. Aroma of oranges and lemon with a bit of a sherbet/ heartburn tablet feel, crackers. Zesty with loads of almost oily citrus upfront, hints of herbs. That's drying of itself but there's gentle sweet pale malt behind, then not much of a finish. Wildly drinkable.

Draft at Druggists, Singapore. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light herbal notes. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a malt, light tart pineapple, grapefruit, light floral, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Needed a little air before the flavours appeared.

Can. Cloudy gold with a 3/2cm white head that lasts OK. Punchy aroma of grass, gooseberries, lime, crackers. A bit of bready body but very little sweetness. Lots of very Kiwi hops (which are Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin) almost buzz before resolving into a snappy bitter end.

Can. Golden amber with a good inch of white head that lasts well. Soft, wafty aroma of tropical fruit - pineapple, guava - citrus - mandarin, a hint of lime - light dough. Then that's all brought into rather sharper relief by sharper citrus flavours, firm bitterness and a dry end. A standout amidst all the re-imagining the WCIPA going on at the moment.

Can. Dark brown with a cm of beige head. Aroma of nectarines, grapefruit, quite pointed roasted malt, some chocolate. Bittersweet with caramel, roast, chocolate. The hop aromatics are accents - floaty citrus, some stone fruit, hints of tropical fruit. Firm bitterness. Good one, like the balance.

Can. Clear gold with a cm of white head. Punchy aroma of grapefruit, under-ripe tropical fruit, crackers. Lots of that Mosaic dankness but light bodied and clean with just a little sweetness and a dry but only modestly bitter finish. Very drinkable. They're pretty reliable brewers of hoppy beers.

Can. Hazy pale orange with a cmish of white head. Aroma of mandarin and grapefruit with pineapple & some crackers. Fruity and sweetish with citrus and more tropical fruit than suggested by the aroma. Modest bitterness with a touch of astringency at the end.

Can. Very pale gold with a 2cm white head that lasts OK. 3+ Aroma of honeyed hay, floral and spicy hops in moderation. Light but round sweet hayish malt, a bigger smack of bitterness and spicy aromatics than suggested by the aroma. Pleasant quaffer that pretty much drinks itself.

Can. Clear golden amber with a white head that lasts a little while. Aroma of kumquat, mango skin, breadcrust, pine. Moderately sweet with tropical and caramelized notes melding before citrus and then pine come though towards the modern West Coast IPA level bitter finish. A little spicy there after a while too. Another solid offering.
