Description
Young Master Brewery was born out of a desire to brew distinctive, world-class beers locally for Hong Kong. With this project, our goal is to revive the craft brewing tradition in Hong Kong and bring the local drinking experience up a notch. Our beers are brewed fresh with the highest quality ingredients. We insist on preserving everything that’s good and natural about freshly brewed beer. To this end, we do not filter, pasteurize, or add artificial stabilizers or chemicals to our products simply to extend their shelf-life. We also use naturally produced carbon dioxide during fermentation and do not artificially carbonate. Our beer will be the freshest you can find in Hong Kong with the least distance traveled from grain to your glass.

Hazy white coloured body with a soapy, white head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of grassy wheat, some light yeast, a lot of mild spicey and grainy aromas and a touch of sweetness noticeable as well. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours at first with a very pleasant wheat and spice flavour right behind along with a touch of herbs and light sweetness. Aftertaste is mild and very subdued, but the flavours are nice - grass, yeast, wheat, coriander seed, curacao and a dose of fruit sweetness. Overall, a very easy-drinking wit with a nice flavour and good complexity - perfect for the heat of Hong Kong in summer! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased across the street at Jason’s Market Place at Happy Valley racetrack on Hong Kong [island] on 02-August-2017 for HK$29,00 while my kids were on the playground across the street at Happy Valley on 02-August-2017.

Crisp golden coloured body with a peach glow and a thick, three centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of nice fruits, along with some more noticeable floral and grassy aromas along with some fresh wheat and yeast notes as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Noticeable sweet and floral flavours at first with some of the tea and fruit sweetness coming through at first, with a lot of carbonation and following with a crisp, grassy wheat note. Aftertaste shows more sweetness with some herbal and perfumey aspects coming through and finishing with a smooth and plentiful grassy and herbal effervescence. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer that borders on the sweet side of things, but a nice one to try as a special release at one of my wife’s favourite restaurants, while being here in Hong Kong. I sampled this 33 cL bottle at the Harbour City Location of the restaurant, but also saw it available yesterday at the Wan Chai location on 29-July-2017 for HK$42,00 sampled at the restaurant while eating some good food and xiao long bao.

Bottle shared with Adamnowek, Erwin and tderoeck. Many thanks, Adam! Clear yellow colour, white foam disappears quickly. Very tart lemony with salty notes. Very refreshing. Not very complex but I like the taste. Could drink this all day.

Clear copper to blond coloured beer with a pink shine, small creamy white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lemony start, slightly funky, fruity touch, little spicy, some coriander. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: rather sweet start, lemony, and indeed a pretty salty touch. Aftertaste: pretty sour, lemony, very acidic, nice salty touch, some lactobacillus, still bit sweet, very clean, nice original and interesting beer!

Pretty cloudy pale whitish to beige beer, creamy white irregular head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, bit spicy, peppery, sweetish, yeast touch, hint of citrus. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of white pepper at first (which seems to be an ingredient as well), slightly sweet, yeast, bit spicy, sourish touch. Aftertaste: refreshing citrus touch, spicy notes, slightly sweet, soft bitterness. Original take on a witbier, I like it!

Poured from the tap. Clear golden yellow with white head. An otherwise boring grainy lager covered up with light hops and chilli oil. Decent, but gimmicky.
