473mL can, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light roasted malt, subtle hazelnut essence, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with lots of sweetened chocolate, maple syrup, a touch of hazelnut essence, and low-level roast. There's some decent flavours in here, but it's not all that integrated, and it's too sweet. Reasonably tasty in tiny amounts, but beyond that it's a tough one to drink.

440ml can at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light orange citrus, herbal, floral. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, earthy, mineral, herbal, floral, stone fruit, light citrus, piney hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Lots going on but not sure I entirely approve.

Slight haze, some lighter lychee sort of fruits. On the palate big alcohol dominates, even by headbanger standards, and it’s low bitterness. The malts are a bit messy…could be the alcohol messing with things. Just trying to find hops buried in there… ok this one isn’t hitting for me.

Pale pink, and opaque. Not much head. Very tart. Berry and random fruits, definitely hitting that fruit punch thing. Super tart. A but too bracing for me, heartburn inducing.

Cloudy and pale. Medium tartness, the peach seems to be lending sweetness and it’s more of a sour pineapple character. That may not be indicative of the actual stuff that went into the beer, that’s just how it comes across my palate. Ok.
