Draft at Kura’s Krafts, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, grassy, weedy. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, dank, weedy, light citrus, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Can. Clear orangeish amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of pine, gooseberry & passionfruit, grass, breadcrust. Barely medium bodied with malt that's not quite enough of a platform for fruit, grass and greenish resinous bitterness. Vibrant but not complete.

Can. Clear pale orange with a 1/2 cm white head. Aroma of tropical fruit - pineapple, passionfruit, papaya - some pine, crackers, wintery oranges. Not a lot of body and not a lot of malt flavour but plenty of fruity hops - a nice mix of tropical and citrus that is then tied together by a moderately resinous bitterness. Snappy but strong for what it offers.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks beneath a thin white head that fades. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of bitter lemon and apricot yoghurt. Flavour of bitter lemon and tart vinegar. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. I found this to be mouth-puckeringly sour and acetic. Not for me.

Can. Very haxy orange with a good 2cm of white head. 6+ Aroma of peach, white grapes, grass, tied together with grapefruit and crackers. Light vague malt doesn't add more than sweetness but the hops are nice - lots of fruit that's mostly peach and citrus but has slightly astringent grassy notes towards the moderately bitter finish. Pretty good.
