Didn’t see this on the way out of Changi, so glad to have a taste courtesy of Igklotet. Hazy tan colour. The aroma is dull but shows phenols. Some light fruity notes and everything is understated.

The new lineup at Archipelago features four regulars and a rotating "limited edition". The bar won’t always tell you which one it is...but Fal told me we had the Golden Ale at Queen & Mangosteen and that sounds about right. Sparkly straw colour. Thin head . Has a light hop nose. Soft, nice with nice almost vinous taste (is that some sauvin in here?) with light balancing malt. Decent balance - I might like more hop but the character of this beer is breezy and refreshing.

@ Queen & Mangosteen. Deep gold with a nice sparkle. Decent head. Herbal hop aroma with fairly strong malt background. Herbal, sticky character with some light fruitiness. A nice pils.

Golden-bronze with a caramel head. Slight toffee accent on the nose. Soft toffee on the palate, but a little bit bland. OK, perhaps too light for my tastes.

Very hazy. Thin head. The aroma is fruity with some esters and maybe a hint of citrusy hop. Hint of bitterness, nice light fruity hops and a yeasty finish.

Draft. Clear yellow gold with a decent head. Little discernible aroma. Medium body and frothy carbonation. The flavour is clearly wheat beer, but with a bit more substance (not too thin and sour). Lime in the foretaste and a good bitter finish. A refreshing and interesting beer.

Sampler at Archipelago, ABV 5.4%. Light hazy amber colour, light off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, some Indian spices. Flavour is spicy, hoppy, light roasted with some caramel notes, grapefruit bitter finish, just a hint of soap. Medium bodied, good and tasty beer with a spicy twist.
