On tap at Zhang Men - Kowloon, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out lots of caramel, bready malt and subdued English resinous hops. Flavour is very malty and caramely, with bready notes; sweet caramel, and subdued resinous hops. Doesn't seem like an IPA to me, more like a semi-hoppy amber. Decent.

On tap at Zhang Men - H.K. Island, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, biscuity malt, and a little diacetyl. Flavour is along the same lines, musty floral hops and dry biscuity malt - maybe a hint of butter. Not bad, but it's a bit flawed.

On tap at Zhang Men - H.K. Island, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is pure diacetyl, with almost nothing but. Flavour is nothing but diacetyl - just pure buttery, caramel popcorn. Just offensive. Needs fixing.
