Coming in a 300ml brown bottle, bottle-conditioned. Bottled on 02/10/07, BB 02/04/08, served chilled in a weizen glass.
A: pours a fresh-sugar-cane-juice like murky dark-yellow hue, coming with a fast-retreating white foam and pretty lively carbonation that also dissipates in about one minute.
S: besides the dense and rich aroma of condensed lichee juice, underneath runs a flow of sweet-lemonade fruitiness, wild-flowery honey, melted rock sugar, a faint touch of hop resins, and a somewhat weak note of the wheat-beer base. Pretty fruity overall, but slightly too sweet is the lichee aroma that other elements pale before it.
T: a richly sweet intake of lichee juice fast introduces its mildly sour-sweet side, then leading towards sweet flower-tea and a mildly dryish hoppy+wheatish aftertaste to mingle with more lichee aroma. Pretty light in the finish, unlike the rich foretaste, leaving an extra tinge of sour-ish yeastiness to entertain the tongue.
M&D: the texture is soothingly carbonated, quite good for a fruit beer, while the body is consistently light against the richly sweet flavour. The downside of using lichee for brewing is that an aftertaste can turn quite "simplistically acidic", but this beer shows a decent balance in the end. Compared with the other lichee beer produced by another Taiwanese micro-brewery (Takau), this one comes a bit too rich in sweet lichee-juice at the expense of more complexity, yet the overall mouthfeel and a clean aftertaste makes up for it. Worth trying if you've never tried a lichee fruit-beer!
