330ml Bottle (Thanks Cunningham) - Golden in colour. An unappealing aroma with notes of grass, gas and malt. Malty and sweet taste with notes of corn, lemon and grain.

(bottle) clear amber with small off white head; faint aromas of soy sauce, fruit; generally simple flavour with long, medium bitter and mineral finish; not great but better than most asian beers

35 cl bottle, 4.7% thanks to a friend who brough me from HK. Pours amber color, clear, average offwhite head, looks like a Vienna. On the nose sems malty. Aroma is softly malty, slightly roasted, a bit of caramel and a metallic\copper hue, mineral notes. Hop is not shining thru, but there’s some. There’s something else i can’t define what it is, somewhat citrusy and spied, but very faint and difficult to get. Taste is softly bitter, palate is watery and finish is dry. Has a tough life compared to the EU standard, but i guess on the asian maket this has some interesting features.

Bottle. Pours clear copper brown with negligible off-white head. Clear aroma of hop, metallic note in the long nose. The flavour is bitter, but more due to the dominant metallic note rather tham the hop used in production. Earthy finish. Wathery mouthfeel. Nowhere near any kind of IPA, whatever the label might say. Poor.

33cl from Cunningham. Clear pale golden with a white head. Strange aroma, metal, sour, green apples and hints of malt. Quite sour with metallic notes and a somewhat dry, bitter and sour finish. Barely drinkable in case of emergency!

Shared 330 ml bottle, at local tasting. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish and sickly aroma, notes of stale jam and chemical waste. Bland and dull flavour without ANY redeeming feature for a poor beer-drinking soul. Drainpour.
