3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Dark golden color. Hoppy, bitter, and a hint of citrus. A fine IPA but nothing special about it. This is one of their highest abv beers. They also serve this in cask form on Wednesday and Thursday.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampler at the brewpub. This didn’t quite work. As promised lots of malt and lots of (curiously english not american tasting varieties) hops but somehow didn’t really come together. Tasted a bit heavy on the alcohol too.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A golden IPA with a thin light moka head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with faint herbal hops, musty fruity esters, chalky notes. In mouth, a smooth caramel malt, with dryish herbal hops, more German in style, good but not to style. On tap at brewpub, July 11, 2011.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sample at the brewpub. This one shows a little more character with a pongy malt character and spicy hobs although these’s a stewed fruit character I don’t really get. Seems to lack freshness maybe? Just ok after a period of contemplation.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light caramel in colour with a little bit of a copper glow and a very thin tan head. Aroma of hops, good balanced malt and a little bit of nuts and caramel - fairly nice and refreshing, given the weather in Singapore. Medium-bodied; Nice fresh hop flavour at first then fades immediately to a cardboardie, bready, yeastie malt and very mild and caramel finish. Aftertaste shows as much malt or more than the hops, but the beer ends okay. Overall, a decent attempt at an IPA, but given the ridiculously high prices here, not really worth trying. I sampled this pint on draught at the brewpub in Clarke Quay in Singapore on 02-November-2009.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy amber. Limited aroma has some citrus. Citrusy, moderate bitterness and a good dose of chewy malts provides balance. OK - could be a bit brighter with those hops.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ brewpub. Dark gold with nice stable head. Subdued aroma. I wish it would come out more. All I detect is slight flowers and leaves. Why are so many of the Brewerkz beers stingy with their aromas? The palate is juicy. The malt character is well-developed with nutty notes. Balanced and unexciting IPA.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampler at Brewerkz. Light hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma of flowers, overripe fruits, pineapple. Flavour is the same, with a bit grainy bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Again very English, not my style.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Brewerkz, Singapore. Dark golden with a medium white head that diminished. Biscuit malt, caramel sweetness and fruity hops. Good bitterness. Sweet, malty finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2009 Drinkable, not in the same category as their X IPA. Pours cloudy gold colour. Has some good hops, but not enough for my liking. Hops are balanced by sweet malt, has decent finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at Brewerkz. Hazy golden with some head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Medium body with strong carbonation. Malt and citrus in the foretaste with a nice bitter finish. A nice British style IPA.
