On tap pours out hazy golden topped with a sand head. Nose is nice sweet mango citrus some vanilla cream. Taste is more of the nice sweet mango citrus vanilla and a touch of bitterness on the end.

Thick light-greige head over jet-black beer. Black, thin coffee with a piece of black chocolate thrown into, but nose suggests no traces of bitterness. Pure (thin) coffee, with again black chocolate retronasal, if not very intense. Haagse Hopjes, coffee sweets. Not very-well bodied, but quite slick to sticky. Goody-goody, beer, staying well away from offensing anyone. Thanks to Stef!

Opalescent pale yellow colour, medium sized dense white head; aroma of floral honey notes, fruitiness (mango, apple and pear) and biscuity notes; taste is the same with definite hoppy bitterness; correct apa

So added this beer after some conversations at a pub in Taiwan. It was clear the beer was a lager from Sambar, also that the name in Chinese was for an animal that I gathered from the pictures they showed me was a Marten. Can't google my way to it in English though, and couldn't get the ABV.Draught at Urban Tribe, Hsinchu City, on February 28, 2018.Sweet, fruity taste. Fruity aftertaste. Medium and fizzy mouthfeel, very low bitterness. Clear brownish color, small white head. Sweet, fruity scent.6/3/6/3/11=2.9
