[Bottled at Hong Kong Brew House, Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong] Hazy pale orange, rich, airy dishwater-like head. Perfumy peachy hoppy nose. Fairly sweet with clean hard crystal malt character. Medium bodied with a tad of citrus. Low bitterness. With it’s ultra-primitive malt character it’s only marginally better than than the rice lagers of southern China.

A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of both hops and flowers. The flavor is sweet and very dry with light notes of pine, leading to a bitter end. A boring IPA.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) The labels credits this to Mendocino Brewing in Saratoga Springs, NY. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head leaving laces. Fresh and fruity aroma - grapefruit. Medium body, lightly sweet malt base is overpowered by a distinct, bitter finish. A rather brutal and one-dimensional bitterness without much refinement. 200606

Pour is a very dark red with a tan head. Aroma is dark fruits with mild hops. Flavor is extremly fruity with some malts and the hops show up in the end. Very thick with some brown sugar at the swallow. Alcohol is there but not in an overpowering way. A spot on example of the style.

Nice clear amber color with thin off white head. It has a typical Barleywine aroma: rich, sweet, malty, a hint of hops and a bit of alcohol. Seems right on for the style and heightens the anticipation of the first sip. Yep, first sip and it is good. Full mouth feel, chewy. It has the sweet fruity-ness of maybe grapes or cherries. Then comes the caramel and molasses roasted malt flavors. To keep it interesting some hop bitterness is bouncing around the taste profile. The finish has a dry biscuit malt flavor along with some residual bitterness and alcohol warmth.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours amber golden with a slight haze with a small, off-white head. Lovely nose containing fruit and caramel. Medium-bodied with lots of caramel and some overripe fruit. Quite delicate really. 300406

Hazy copper color. The aroma is light, fruity, with some toffee. Medium mouthfeel, malty; gets thinner at the end, and more warming (alcohol). Some sweetness and medium-high fruity bitterness. Doesn’t fly.
