On tap at East West, pours a hazy dull golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out herbal notes and light biscuity malt. Flavour has some definitely off-flavours: vegetal, cabbage and biscuity malt. Herbal and vegetal finish. Needs fixing.

On tap at East West, pours a cloudy rose colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral notes upfront, with a touch of saison yeast. Flavour brings out notes of hibiscus, light floral notes and light saison yeast. Fruity and floral on the finish. Nice stuff.

On tap at East West, pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out subdued resinous hops, caramel bready malt and a touch of diacetyl. Flavour is very sweet, with cloyingly sweet caramel malt, some diacetyl and subdued resinous hops. This is just bad. Undrinkable cloyingly sweet faux-IPA.

Tap at the Brewpub, HCMC. Poured a hazy reddish orange amber with a thin broken white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is yeast, red berry fruit, some doughy biscuit malt. The flavour is light sweet with a dry dry crisp, raspberry fruit, yeasty palate and a bubbly mouthfeel. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not sure I would drink a pint of this but I’m sure there is a time and place for those that enjoy the style.

Tap at the Brewpub, HCMC. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is malt, tropical fruit, some pine needle. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a fresh citrus fruit, woody, resin hop bitter, light peppermint, light spice palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Super bitter and not as fruity as I anticipated.
