Commercial Description:
A real thirst quencher, this crisp, clean and satisfying ale is perfect for the tropical weather in Singapore. The Brewmaster chose imported American hops for a snappy citrusy flavor that is cool, and refreshing. A beer with smooth round body that is enjpyable anytime.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear, deep golden with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of fruit and sweet malts. Medium body, a little caramel and fruit and an odd synthetic tang. Lightly bitter finish. But drinkable indeed. 040408

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing white head. Dried fruity aroma. Slight oldish to oxidised dry malty and spiced flavour. Shows a light dry hops note into the finish. Persisting fruity towards woody note along this.

Wouldn’t describe this as a "thirst-quencher", whatever the brewer might think. Especially not in Singapore’s heavy, humid climate. It’s a bit too chewy, but interesting, all the same. Caramel coloured with sunny honey hues. Strong aroma of cereals. Porridge, metal pails, blackcurrant, biscuits and chocolate-orange. Very thick mouthfeel for the style. Ginger notes, caramel toffees and a bitterness that builds on the palate as the bottle empties. Obvious US influences, as with most of the Singapore microbrewers. Found it quite cloying towards the end of the bottle. A little goes a long way. (330ml bottle courtesy of Sully at his Sydney RB gathering Xmas 07 - thanks amigo. Thanks also to my kid sis who delivered a second bottle for a more sober look.)
