Can from Lupe Pintos. Murky deep golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and peach. Flavour of orange and peach with a flinty hop finish. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Simple and sessionable.

Can for 2$. Pour is hazy pale with a haze. Nose is dull older IPA hops and taste is dull old IPA too. No wonder, date code is november 2023! Oh well. Pretty much flat and mouth coating. A little boozy. No hint of citrus what so ever in this. Stupid ass IPA. I'll give it an extra point for its IPA content. There, you have it. No worries, just an old straight up ass sample.

Opaque colour, firm brownish head. Coffeish, roasted aroma. Medium-bodied. Roasted, coffeish, hints of licorice in the flavour, some hops. Clean, old school imperial stout. Well-brewed.

355ml can from Alko.
Poured clear and light orange in color, white head.
Resiny hops mostly on a good malty base. Bitter, dry finish. Not the freshest can but still quite tasty.

Can from Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy light yellow golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is lager yeast. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a crisp, somewhat light, yeasty, cardboard, light tart lime, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. What can I say? It’s not an IPA!

Pours clear gold into a pils. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Hay, straw and citrus aromas. Crisp with bitter citrus pith and peel front to back and into the lasting earthy pith finish. Tasty, but not a lot of balance going on here.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Fair lacing. Pilsner malt and some hops aroma. Sharp pilsner malt flavor with a long, drying, hoppy finish. Clean and crisp mouthfeel. Medium body. Medium-high carbonation. Moderate bitterness, but not overpowering. Good example of the style.

12 ounce can. Brassy gold color. Frothy white head. Spotty lacing. Grainy malt aroma hints at grassy hops. Flavor is crisp grainy malt and distinctive bitter hops. Notes of cut grass and bitter greens. Clean, crisp and crushable. What more could you want?
