My can looked different with a german couple dancing on the front. Aroma of pale malt, wheat, yeast, alcohol and bunches upon bunches of coriander seeds. Light-bodied; Pungent yeast flavour with a very nice dry spiciness and a subdued banana sweetness and a soft wheat flavour coupled very nicely and leaves the palate refreshed. Aftertaste is just as nice with the alcohol hardly noticeable, but the yeast, coriander seed and wheat very pleasurable and refreshing. Overall, a very surprising wit with a great flavour and very smooth finish - great in this heat! I sampled this 33 cL can purchased from City!Super in HabourCity, Kowloon, Hong Kong on 20-June-2014 for HK$22,00 sampled in my hotel room a few hours later in Wan Chai, Hong Kong on 20-June-2014.

Clear golden coloured yellow body with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, alcohol and very little else. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic malt flavour at first with a lot of hay and grass noticeable and very little else. Aftertaste shows mostly water and a hint of caster sugar and a touch of light malt. Overall, not much going on with this one, but it wasn’t bad nor aggressive, just mild and watery. I sampled this 33 cL long neck bottle, best by 14-July-2014 purchased from City!Super in Harbour City, Kowloon, Hong Kong on 22-June-2014 for HK$28,00 sampled in my hotel room here in Wan Chai, Hong Kong later in the day.

przyjemny zapach. w równej ilości słodki, słodowy, przypominający ciastka, co chmielowy - zioła i owoce tropikalne. kolor ciemnego złota. spora, dość trwała, ale nie za ładna piana. w smaku pełne, aż słodkie. wyraźne nuty słodowe. również bardzo silny smak chmielu (ale goryczka sama w sobie nie jest za wysoka) - zioła i owoce. pozostawia dość długą i trochę odkładającą się goryczkę

Can. Part of their "Craft Beer The World" series. Deep golden color, tall, fine head. Biscuity malt nose, light caramel, touch of diacetyl, some lemony hops. Doesn’t really fit the style. Lemony, sweet, biscuity flavor, light butter. Very malty like a helles almost, and not very bitter at all. Not terrible, but way off style. BIt of hay to go with the lemon. Ok, bitterness coming more. Not that bad, not APA.

ładny zapach, drożdże, chmiel i owoce (morele?). złoty kolor ze średnią, ale długotrwałą pianą. w smaku dość pełne, drożdżowe, gładkie, z wyraźną ale nie za mocną ziołową goryczką.

Not sure who exactly they're exporting to or if they just mean it is a higher ABV version. Can from Yamaya, served in a half-pint glass. A great clear deep amber pour with a thin beige head that leaves behind no lacing. Great color. The aroma is straight up malty sweet toffee. The taste is sweet malty citrus with some breadiness & a touch of sourness in the finish. Med-full bodied this is quite a satisfying beer to drink. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
