Can. Clear gold with an inch of white head that fades pretty fast. Clean hay aroma with floral and spice accents. 6+ Richer malt than suggested by the aroma with a clean moderately bitter finish. Floral and spice notes at the end. Quality but not v interesting.

Can, sourced from the barrel room at the brewery and muled to the UK by my bro. Cheers mate! Pours inky black with a thin ring of tan foam. Aroma: huge liquorice/aniseed vibes in the main. Taste: moderate to heavy sweet & moderate bitter, again there's bags of liquorice, also notes of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, whisky barrel. Full body with very light carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Hides that 11% really well. It won't be for everyone but it's right up my strasse.

pitch black color. No head. Ash, dark chocolate, medium carbonation, red wine, oak, slight tannins. Alcohol very hidden hidden. Super smooth. Perfectly integrated, not super amazing depth but still very good.

375ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter and sweet, with a rich, dry, roasty, liqourice, ash tray, light sweet vanilla caramel palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nicely balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.

375ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur.
Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived, bubbly white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, slightly watery, juicy lemon citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. A little light but lots of juicy citrus flavours. Ideal for the hot climate.

375ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden straw colour with a short-lived bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light sweet toffee, light floral. The flavour is over medium bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, gluey, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. As far as lagers go, this had some body and wasn’t bad at all.

Can. I knew nothing about this dip hopping technique but now at least know that it involves being called Maurice. Clear gold with a white head that settles to a bit more than a cm but doesn't last that well. Aroma of oranges & their blossoms, hay, light bread, some pine. Taste follows this - it's intensely but not all that vibrantly hoppy - with clean firm pale malt and a fairly bitter finish with resinous and slight earthy touches buzzing after a time. Seems like a distant descendant of Sculpin.
