Tuatara Brewing Company (DB - Heineken Asia Pacific) Reviews

jbruner	3.9 Tuatara Regenerate Pours a clear golden yellow on tap with dense white cap of bubbly foam that leaves good lace. Aroma of grassy and citrus hop notes over hay and cracker malt notes. Taste is moderately bitter from the hops, lightly sweet from the malt, clean and crisp. Nicely done pilsner. Tuesday, March 19, 2024
joe19612	3.3 Tuatara Optical Tap. Pours a hazy pale orange colour with a tight white head, plenty of tropical fruits especially mango in the aroma, the taste is medium bitterness with a dry bitter finish. Sunday, February 25, 2024
jybi	3.2 Tuatara IPA Cette Tuatara IPA est tout de même simple. Elle est cependant relativement efficace avec une amertume sympathique. Je n'aurais toutefois pas été complètement convaincu par la proposition aromatique. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé quasi limpide avec une effervescence moyennement soutenue et quasiment sans mousse. Le nez est sur la mandarine un peu sûre, l'orange, de légères herbes, le citron vert et la pêche. Il y a mieux à mon sens sans que cela soit mauvais. Wednesday, December 20, 2023

Schlenkerla29	3.7 Tuatara Aotearoa Pale Ale Das Aotearoa Pale Ale offenbart sich eingeschenkt im tiefen Bernstein mit blickdichter Trübung. Die Blume ist schön fein und cremig, ihre Stabilität lässt allerdings zu wünschen übrig. Der Geruch weiß mit einem sagenhaft frischen, obstigen Duft zu gefallen, der primär in Richtung Mango-Ananas zielt. Zitronenschale, Pampelmuse und Mandarine treten im Antrunk geschmacklich in Erscheinung. Anfänglich erscheint es unerwartet herb, doch recht schnell wird diese Herbe von der Süße des Malzkörpers ausgebremst. Der Hopfen stellt sich zitrusfruchtig dar, Pampelmuse und Pomelo lassen grüßen. Der Durchgang ist süffig und wirkt ausgewogen, der Nachtrunk wartet mit einer satten, aber nicht kratzigen Herbe auf. Die Textur wird durch die Hefe und die am Glasrand erkennbaren Schwebeteilchen aufgewertet, welche ein wunderbar weiches Mundgefühl erzeugen. Sehr erfrischend, auch im Nachtrunk verbleibt noch eine herrliche Pampelmusen-Note am Gaumen haften. Gefällt mir wirklich gut! Saturday, January 21, 2023
Schlenkerla29	3.7 Tuatara Indian Pale Ale Aus der einer Tuatara-Echsenhaut nachempfundenen Flasche fließt das Tuatara IPA altgolden mit einem Hang zum Bernstein und angedeutet hefetrüb ins Glas. Die cremige Schäumung neigt zwar nicht gerade zur Üppigkeit, wirkt aber recht stabil. Der Duft offenbart neben den dominanten Pampelmuse und Pomelo auch eine leichte Ingwer-Schärfe. Vollmundig, kräftig und frisch gestaltet sich der Einstieg, und serviert sofort die erwarteten tropischen Hopfennoten. Das geschmacklich ziemlich helle Malz gewährt dem Hopfen ausreichend Freiraum, sich zu entfalten. Dabei wird eine moderate Bitterkeit erzeugt, die sich selber und dem Bier zu keiner Zeit im Weg steht. Die Kohlensäure wurde ideal dosiert und ist tatsächlich exzellent eingebunden, so dass der Trinkfluss entsprechend hoch ist. Der moderat bittere Abgang setzt ganz auf Orangenschale, Pampelmuse und Pomelo, wird jedoch durch die nachwirkende Honigsüße ausgebremst. Lediglich im Nachtrunk baut sich eine breit aufgestellte Hopfenbitterkeit auf, welche jedoch längst nicht so ruppig ausfällt, wie es die 50 IBU vermuten ließen. Klasse IPA von ganz weit weg!

matelija	3.7 Tuatara Sauvinova Wednesday, August 18, 2021
jmgreenuk	3.5 Tuatara Primeval Tendency NZ IPA Bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear copper colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, toffee caramel, light resin, light citrus fruits.

mountdad	2.3 Tuatara Amarillo American Dark Ale 500ml bottle. NOTE - this beer seems to no longer be made or perhaps have reverted to a seasonal. Pours a very dark brown, opaque on most glasses, with a mild tan head, small that fades fast. Mild aroma of darkish roasted malt. Beer is quite light & tastes thin. The dark malts are here along with some hops and perhaps this is what a dark ale is meant to be like. For me it is not nearly as flavoursome as a good porter, as refreshing as an ale let alone as moreish as a good stout. Average. Thursday, August 12, 2021
