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.

Can. Not a Coopers Red clone - it's clear gold with a large white head. But then it does smell weedy with peaches and light bread. Moderately sweet, slightly earthy. Less yeasty and a fair bit less bitter than Coppers, but identifiably a Sparkling Ale. Refreshing. A bit more bitterness would have been welcome.

Aromas of raisins, citrus and cumin. There's a nice bitterness to the taste, with those spicy and raisiny notes coming through. Very easy drinking.

Can. Gold with a brief raft of loose bubbles. Aroma of candied pineapple, caramel, pine. There's some grapefruit upon a swig too and that improves matters a lot - bridging the sweet malt and pineapple and the piney bitterness. OK but not one of their better IPAs.

Bottle. Darkish brown with a beige head that fades fast. Aroma of cherry, light vinegar, boot polish, the forest floor. Medium bodied. Gently sour, a way off dry. Funky twiggy and boot polish notes, cherry reduction, hard spices. Alcohol is well hidden. Nicely balanced but perhaps doesn't justify its strength.

Another new hop for me. Can. Moderately hazy orange with an inch of fluffy white head. Aroma of white peach, pineapple, papaya, crackers. Light bodied. Sweetish with lots of fruit before moderate bitterness, some herbal notes and a little hint of alcohol at the end. Seemed better integrated as it warmed to 10C.
