Bottle at home. A nice pour and it looked inviting in the glass. There wasn't much nose and the flavour was of subdued hops and some nice balancing malt. There was subtlety here and a pleasant mouthfeel. All very pleasant.

Tap at the Great Beer Bar, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is gluey malt, dry yeast, light citrus fruit, alcohol bitter. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a smooth, warm, rich malt, fruity light spice alcohol bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. The alcohol really dominates this beer which is really surprising at just 8.5% ABV.
