MAL trip: day 1/12 - Chicken & Beer, Petaling Jaya near KL. A 300ml. glass, draught, served one or two degrees too chilled IMHO. Aroma: negligible, a fleeting hit of 70s era homebrew. Appearance: clear honey amber, one finger snow white cream. Palate: medium-bodied and very sticky on the tongue, average carbonation; finishes chewy, quite a satisfying palate. Taste: medium sweet, 70s era confectionery, jelly babies. Unrecognisable as a wit beer, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

MAL trip: day 1/12 - Chicken & Beer, Petaling Jaya near KL. A 300ml. glass, draught, served one or two degrees too chilled IMHO. Aroma: very fragrant, tropical fruit, lychees. Appearance: completely opaque, looks a bit like marmalade, one finger snow white cream. Palate: light-bodied and very sticky on the tongue, average carbonation; finish is rather abrupt but agreeably dry. Taste: lightly sweet with some astringency, fruit doesn’t really come through - aroma trumps taste. Suits the climate here though, a creditable effort.

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: very rich, darkest of dark chocolate. Appearance: opaque cola, very generous tan head. Palate: light-bodied, and slick, softish carbonation; finish is well-roasted and lingers long. Taste: lightly sweet with plenty of dark chocolate, a hit of Christmas time chocolate liqueurs despite the modest ABV. I thought this one was delicious.

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: came as a surprise, vaguely citric, like an understated IPA. Appearance: opaque cola, one finger tan head. Palate: light-bodied, and slick, softish carbonation; finish is roasted and lingering. Taste: lightly sweet with an astringent note, a hint of pine. Palate trumps taste, ultimately lacks flavour.

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: fresh grass, nothing besides. Appearance: opaque cola, one finger tan head. Palate: light-bodied, and oily, average carbonation; roasted finish with an unexpected salty hit. Taste: lightly sweet, the roast seems understated, not sure what to make of the salt. Pretty average, the aroma is a mystery - something wrong?

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: very rich, cafe au lait milk chocolate mix. Appearance: opaque cola, one finger tan head. Palate: light-bodied, oily and slightly tart, softish carbonation; finish is deep roast, rather abrupt. Taste: lightly sweet with prominent roasted notes, coffee trumps chocolate but does not overpower; the surprise sour hit is not unpleasant. This is really good.
