Draught at Louisiane Brewhouse, Nha Trang. Perhaps the first pale ale made available in Vietnam? Amber with medium white head. Fruity aroma of passionfruit, gooseberry and pine notes. The flavour is biscuit malt, passionfruit, gooseberry and pine. Good carbonation and OK bitterness right through to the finish. From my knowledge this is the first batch made available to the public. It does need a few tweaks but a pleasant beer nonetheless.

Slightly golden colour. Light hop nose. Light bitterness. Lots of tropical fruit character on the palate. Good balance when cold but as it warms it becomes chewy, reminding me a bit of Hazed & Infused.

Draft @ brewpub. Warm golden copper, looks flatish but has nice cap. Aroma is campari, rind, and tropical fruit. Soft, gentle velvet nitro-like palate as per house character. Great fruitiness varies from bright tropical to citrusy bitter. Nice hop character. Papayas. Unfortunately suffers from consistency issues, as a change in the keg made for a much sweeter, duller version than the previous but still, decent brew.
