440ml can from the Fat Boy Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is stone fruits, light passion fruit. The flavour is moderate to light sweet and bitter, with a smooth, somewhat light, passionfruit, peachy, mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nowhere near as fruity as the name suggests. Quite disappointing.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of stone fruit, passion fruit, citrus and biscuit. Pours hazy dark yellow color with thin soapy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy tropical fruity and citrusy, following is herbal and slightly bready, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Juicy hooters…

Sample (thanks omhper!). Yellowish golden colour, small fluffy white head. Aroma is fruity, nectary, quite peachy with some mild herbs too. Flavour is rather grassy and floral bitter with some slight sweet malts and mild nectary tones towards the finish and aftertaste.

I remember back in the day this was serious trade bait - I had forgotten all about it (and as far as I knew, Drake’s wasn’t even in business anymore) until I saw six packs of this show up in one of my local bottle shops - hot damn, my inner beer nerd from 17 years ago got so happy - this one really does bring me back - classic west coast DIPA - lightly hazy, light copper, clingy and lasting head - nose and flavor are dank and tropical - assertively bitter, but not astringent - a lot of woody, piney, and spicy hop flavor, held in check by a heavy, but not overly sweet malt backbone - long-lingering bitterness and peppery character in the finish - probably would have liked it more back in the day, but it’s dang good to me now, too.
