Bottle from dkachur, thanks Dan! Orange color. Grapefruit, red berries and oily hops in the aroma. Firm oily hopbitter flavor with grapefruit and red berries. rather sharp on the tongue. The fruit isn’t dominant in the flavor. There is some malt character present to offset the oily hops a bit. Nice one!

Bottle from the Hop House, Hong Kong. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a big frothy off white head. The aroma is grainy sweet sugary toffee malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, rich, toffee caramel, light fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle part of a mixed 6pack. I couldn't find any dating.
It pours a clear light gold with a small head of foam.
I smell wheat, little bit of caramel malt sweetness.
The taste has wheat, the malt is overly sweet imho, and there's a vegetable flavour that isn't appealing to my palate. Earthy vegetables? Best that I can describe.
Good enough mouthfeel.
1 bottle will do me.

Bottle from Safeway. Wan't expecting this to be this good. Wow! Kicks off with a deep golden pour, small, soft, clingy head. Aroma is caramel and earthy hops. Taste brings in a big full bitter hoppy taste, with the sweet caramel coming in underneath. Round and full and flavorful. Wonderful throughout, with a nice lingering burn. Two thumbs up!
