(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear pilsener golden with a creamy, off-white head. Rather neutral aroma with only a small whiff of hops. Medium body, some pale ale maltiness and a marked bitterness in the finish. I miss some refinement in the aroma hops. A bit disappointing. 270306

[Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Cloudy amber. Evident peachy hop aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel and overly simplistic crystal malt character. Low-medium bitterness. Hop aromatic, but extremely shallow. All surface, no contents.

cloudy light amber, thick frothy head, sweet malt plus spicy hop aroma, good malt body, tart spicy hop flavor with lots of tasty grapefruit essence, lingering hoppy finish with a slight bitterness

no grapefruit and the hop flavor is not as aparent being repllaced by bitterness, nice sweetness to balance the hops and bitterness, could be a nice session beer

Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy, but amazingly enough, not one-dimensional. Good finish

Bottle. It's pale, like a pilsener. Only slight hoppy aroma. Slight hopflavor, some tartness with vanilla and blackcurrant. Fairly long hopbitter and fruity finish.

(12oz bottle) Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Subtle aroma of florals and grass. Flavor of hops (grass, earth) and malt with a moderately bitter finish.

Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a larger sized white head. Aromas of yeast, light grapefruit and light oranges. Tastes of grapefruit with light malts. Lightly sweet with an almost fake sugary sweetness to it. The aroma had a musty nastiness to it and the tastes got worse the more I drank this one.
