Dark amber brown colour with big fluffy off white head. Aroma is bit savoury, soy sauce, caramel, something medicinal and some rich maltiness. Taste is less pronounced. Light caramel, little bit of spice, quite sweet. Some fruitiness too. It's perfectly nice, but maybe a little underwhelming.

very deep golden color. Smells like rocket fuel with oak. Very malty, horrible oaked. Just bad

On tap at world beer summit nagoya 2016. Hazy copper with medium beige head. Aroma is malt forward stuff: honey, raisins. Taste is watery and contains a lot of carbonation induced sourness, some malty sweetness as well. Watery and foamy at the same time. Finish is rather empty and only a thin body. Ok though.

On tap at world beer summit nagoya 2016. Hazy golden with little white head. Aroma is typical lager stuff with some more fine noble hops. Taste is smooth sourness and bitterness, well mixed. Good finish easy to drink. Fresh. But why are there hawaii people dancing on the advertisement? This wasnt exotic at all... no tropic fruits etc.

Hazy amber color. Slightly, smokey, phenolic, bananas in the nose. Light refreshing but too phenolic. Very estery. Could be dumped into a strong bock very easily. Not bad, but not great.

Light brown color. Malty, dog food, unfermented chocolate malts. Light bodied, slightly astringent. A touch of chocolate malt and dark fruit. Light bodied. A bit different than what I am used to but good stuff.

amber color. Clean malty nose with touches of bread and caramel. Smooth start to the mouth with some bready notes, the tartness which slightly distracts. Some diacytle. Started great then drops. Moderately phenolic. Ok depth. Too tart. Not bad overall, but not So balanced.

Bottle, 1 day before “drink by” date. Deep gold, almost amber color. Aroma of saltine crackers. Flavors of crackers, malts, some tangy fruit and grass. Fruity, slightly sour finish. Slightly sweet and thin, decent, but not much happening.

Light orange-brown with a fine, thick, head. Huge banana and spice aroma, estery and sweet with a touch of caramel. Big banana flavor with a good sour edge. Dunkel aspect apparent but a bit too light. Overall the beer is a touch too thin. Crisp and light, suited to the tropics.
