Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is herbal, woody hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, earthy, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average carbonation.

Penang > Singapore rail excursion: a small bottle from Antarabangsa off-licence, Georgetown, drunk in the hotel just down the road. Aroma: only lightly aromatic, roasted, some coffee. Appearance: opaque cola, negligible head. Palate: medium-bodied and slick, carbonation is unexpectedly fizzy, the finish is rather abrupt. Taste: well-roasted with some sweet notes; not very chocolatey but some coffee flavour comes through. This one leaves no lasting impression and is rather lacking in character.

Penang > Singapore rail excursion: a small bottle from Antarabangsa off-licence, Georgetown, drunk in the hotel just down the road. Aroma: very interesting, liquorice meets malt loaf. Appearance: opaque cola, negligible head. Palate: full-bodied and oily on the tongue, soft carbonation, finishes long and nicely warming. Taste: well-roasted with sweet notes; marzipan, dark chocolate, sherry. This is rocket fuel, complex and very satisfying.

500ml can from Heart of Darkness HCMC taproom and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting thin white head. The aroma is herbal, light yuzu. The flavour is herbal and light bitter, with a smooth, fresh, juicy yuzu, dry yeasty palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. I’ve never been a yuzu fan but I must say it’s growing on me, especially when the taste is subtle.
Another Vietnam, thanks Dan F.!
