3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle. Pours a clear, light gold, with a huge, fluffy white head, which lasts well, and leaves good lacing behind. Lemongrass is the dominant aroma, with some fresh, floral hops and a touch of coriander for good measure. Given that I usually cook various Asian dishes, it smells quite similar to my kitchen, in fact. Floral hops introduce the beer, leading into an interesting combination of lemongrass and white bread malt. A weak hint of coriander appears as it moves into a crisp finish of spicy hops and more lemongrass. An interesting and thoroughly refreshing beer on its own, I can imagine that this would go wonderfully well with a nice, spicy Thai curry.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pretty much.. crap. The coriander doesn’t fit in, the yeast doesn’t add nice flavor and generally a disappointment. Got a little better when a bit warmer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle - Very pale yellow. White head. Medium carbonation. Watery. Sweet. Lemon grass flavour in background.
