Can. Black, a light tan fades to a good cm. Aroma is whisky forward with singed praline and honeycomb, heavy roast, slightly jarring citrus. Smooth, full bodied, lowish carbonation. Big whisky, vanilla and praline flavours but getting towards dry at the end. Again the citrus doesn't quite fit. Perhaps it will fade in time - this comes in a 2 500ml tin pack.

Can. Very clear orange with a 2cm white head. Aroma of dope, mango skin, berries, weeds, bread. Dryish is good but empty in the middle not so much, particularly at 7%. The aromatics are there but there's not much bitterness either. Lacks presence.

Pours hazy gold with a large quickly fading head. Nose shows apricot, floral, spicy and grassy hops, and soft bready malt behind.Flavours include more bready malt, a bit of a cardboard-like stale character, along with passion fruit and a bit of apricot.

Poorly stored in guessing. Some stone fruit, but lots of malt.

Can. Fair hazy orange with a good cm of white head that never completely dissipates. 3+ Somewhat sherbety orange and lemon aroma with some floral notes, some mango, hints of pine. Citra but not just Citra, I'd guess. Pretty clean with tangy rather than juicy fruit and pine before a modestly bitter finish. Delicious, maybe a bit too swiggable.

Can. Clear gold with an inch of white head that only lasts a little while. Aroma of hay, some toast, spices, hints of tropical fruit - one of those that has Kiwi hops but almost smells European. A bit fruitier in the taste but it's over a richer malt than guessed and it's off-dry before medium-high bitterness. Best lager I've had from them so far.

330ml can at the Beer Bank, Tropicana Gardens Mall, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a slightly hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, fresh, light dank, light lemon citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty light all round I guess, but it’s refreshing at least.
