Bottled 330ml (KSM Kampus)
Hazy yellow-orange colour, small steady white head. Tropical fruity, orange aroma. Light-bodied. Ok tropical fruityness with orange peels in the flavour. Dry citrusy aftertaste. Unfortunately quite watery (easy), but as thirst-quincher it is ok.

Hazy dark amber colour, medium-sized white head, Fruityness, pine wood in the nose. Light-bodied. Riped fruits, odd candy notes. Light bitterness in the aftertaste but overall quite watery and plain. Not really IPA, more like APA.
