330ml bottle from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived frothy, off-white, head. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a light, watery, bland, light malt, cardboard, mineral, light metallic, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. One of the worst beers I’ve ever had. It’s like drinking coloured water. There is seriously very little flavour. This beer makes Bud Light seem like a classic. Does the brewery ever taste their own beers?? Absolute drain pour.

330ml bottle (4.5% ABV) from Beers of Europe; BB 19th March 2022. Drank in my back garden on 29th August 2021. Light haze to the golden pour, weak white head. Not a fan of honey or ginger in beer and wouldn't have bought it if I'd known this was case. Luckily they are both mild in their influence, however they were the only two aromas and flavours I picked up on.

330ml bottle: BB 15th Aug 2021. Obtained from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 29th July 2021, shared with no one. Clean deep amber body, wispy head that soon buggered off. Caramel and malty nose, taste also has a malty molasses front with a sweet leaning. Thin and on the watery side, mouthfeel wise. A little disappointed to be honest.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Copper coloured beer with a foamy white head and many tiny bubbles. Nose of dark caramel and sour grain. Slight effervescence, medium body. Taste has grassy tinny hops then a finish of malt, cashew nuts and lingering tin. Seems a bit unbalanced and hollow.
