Can. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, caramel, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus hops, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Gushed a hazy straw colour with a huge fizzy white head. The aroma is yeasty, peachy citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a dry, yeasty, light sweet fruit, dry hop bitter palate and a bubbly mouthfeel. Medium bodied with very lively carbonation. Massively over-carbonated in fact. I lost 20% of the can.

Bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, light fruity, light resin, floral, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Ok, but the hop balance didn’t feel right and the beer tasted a little stale. Best before 20/04/2020.

Can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a big lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus fruits, resin woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, big malt, resin hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A solid beer with plenty going on and clearly a big malt bill, but not worth the 13 Euros I paid for it.

Can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a malt, dank, wet dog, light juicy citrus, light dry floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. It was nice, but not great. At 13 Euros for a 440ml can I was expecting something better. Great artwork on the can though.
