4.0 330ml can bought at Wellcome Superstore in Sheung Shui Town Centre, Sheung Shui. Looks: Translucent light golden honey colour with a thin trace of dirty yeast sediments; One-quarter finger head with soapy white foam which fades in 20 seconds; Good sticky lacing with near zero carbonation. Aroma: Very fragrant Ale malt, with strong mango puree, passion fruits, peach, apricots, citrus, floral, sugar, spices, pine, earth, biscuits and grass. Taste: Medium to light sweet Ale malt, with fair tartness, strong grapefruits, citrus, light yellow fruits, floral, fair sugar, biscuits, spices, strong pine, resins, strong lime, strong bitter hops and grass. Body: Mid to light body. Thin but quite slick and oozy palate. Mouth Feel: Good Ale maltyness in a pretty thin but slick background, with notable wheaty tartness. Very grapefruity and piney hops dominates, with citrus and yellow fruits hover around. Flowery with moderate sweetness. Spicy oozy with strong lime and bitterness to round. Really nice! Hoppiness: Strong mango puree, passion fruits, peach, apricots, citrus, floral, spices, pine, earth and grass in nose. Strong grapefruits, citrus, light yellow fruits, floral, spices, strong pine, resins, strong lime and grass in taste; Bitterness is very strong for a lasting, high-level bitter Ale malty finish. After Taste: Sry. Limey piney oozy and strong bitter to mouth. Comments: This is an obvious step-up after the already nice “Heart & Soul” ISA: hops are expressed fully in mango aroma and piney grapefruity taste rounded with very limey bitter finish. Will definitely buy again!

3.5 Can at home, Nivala. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas and flavors: Fruits, grass, hops and malts. Nice!

1.4 The worst beer I have had from a brewery that 9 times out of 10 produce some superb beers. This one just does not work. Resiny sourness and unbalanced. I guess even a champion can have off day. Avoid.

3.3 330ml can from In Pivo Veritas in Moscow. Pours slightly hazy gold with a thin white head. Aroma is grapefruit, tropical fruits, malt, caramel. Taste is light sweet, grapefruit, caramel. Medium bitter finish.

3.6 Can 44 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze. Lovely peachy hop aroma. Medium body, kinda fruity sweet with amazing hop accents throughout and a moderate bitterness. Lovely old school APA. 081220

Pours slightly unclear, golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing. Aroma is medium intense with a sweet fruity odor mingling with a dry, citric scent. Peach and canned pear. Citrus, lime and dusty hops. Light carbonation. Thin, oily, almost flat texture. Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while Finish is fairly dry. A bit flat but with fine redeeming, dry bitterness.
