500ml bottle. This started well and then I got bored of it. Chestnut beer with thin beige head. Nice fruit/yeasty aroma. Bit of empty boiled sweet flavour in mouth. Raspberry fruit and caramel flavours are nice. But then it’s empty, filtered and pasteurised and lacking any depth.

[Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Brownish amber, clear, firm head. Pleasant mangoish hop aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel Pleasant biscuity malt flavour. The moutfheel is short and quickly replaced by grassy bitterness with a touch of sulphur. Unadventurous, but well crafted.

[Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Amber coloured, small fluffy head. Sweetish with evident carmelly malt and some hay-like hops. Fairly light bodied with soft mouthfeel and careful salty bitterness. Not as mad as you might think...

Bottled. Weak, lightly malty aroma, with some hops and a little metallic note. Almost copper-colored with a nice off-white head. Clear. Malty and bready up front, with hops and some caramel coming shortly after. Nice body and a finish with bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Pleasant, but a little too anonymous. (060525)

Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg, DK. Chestnut colored, with almost no head, just some off-white bubbles. The aroma is lightly roasted and has caramel too. Malty-sweet and bitter flavor, with the bitterness escalating towards the finish. Some roastiness also comes through at the end. Medium body. (060506)
