330ml bottle from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived frothy, off-white, head. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a light, watery, bland, light malt, cardboard, mineral, light metallic, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. One of the worst beers I’ve ever had. It’s like drinking coloured water. There is seriously very little flavour. This beer makes Bud Light seem like a classic. Does the brewery ever taste their own beers?? Absolute drain pour.

330ml bottle: BB 15th Aug 2021. Obtained from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 29th July 2021, shared with no one. Clean deep amber body, wispy head that soon buggered off. Caramel and malty nose, taste also has a malty molasses front with a sweet leaning. Thin and on the watery side, mouthfeel wise. A little disappointed to be honest.

Amber color, light blackcurrant aroma. Thin to medium bodied. A slight hoppiness matched by blackcurrant (cascade hops?) Hint of caramel. Citric aftertaste. Nice!

330ml bottle. Pours orange gold. Acidic, bit of stone fruit, bit of toffee, fair bit of sulfur. Medium body. Not a good beer.

330ml bottle. Amber coloured with a small off-white head. Aroma: malts, caramel. Taste: mild malty notes, caramel, light fruity hops. Oily texture. A pretty mild tasting beer, inoffensive though.

On tap in Te Anau. Amber in color, unsurprisingly. Faint nose, underwhelming taste, but easy to drink. And quite refreshing, after a long day on the road.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Copper colour, mediumsized foamy/fluffy slightly off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some bready notes as well as mild notes of syrup. Flavour is being quite much the same along with some grassy and mildly nutty notes. A bit boring, but technically no big flaws.

Pours orange-brown. Fizzy beige head rapidly fades to a bare coat. Aroma is of caramel. Taste is bland. Body is very thin. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Little malt flavour, no bitterness. Poor.
