500ml can, best before May 9th 2018.
It pours a lightly hazed copper, oodles of foam and lacing.
Smells fruity, spicy, hoppy. Pears with other sweet fruit. Coriander hints of clove, malty sweet to go with the fruit, very mild bitterness from pine or grass.
The taste is more hoppy. Grass and pine with a little bit of tartness to go with the mild bitterness. Coriander, other spices, honey like and fruity sweetness in the background.
Medium body with the carbonation on the lighter side.
Smells better than it tastes. More balanced there.

Semi-transparent, brown, colour with no carbonation. Topped with a finger of yellowish, creamy head.
Plums, peaches, and orchard fruits, like a fresh basket of pears when visiting the farmers market. Dark fruits and raisins as well.
The same tastes come through on the tongue, fresh orchard fruits, hints of figs, plums and raisins. A slight bitterness, not really hoppy, just gummy, bleak and bitter.
Medium to slightly heavy, chewy body with little carbonation.
Been saving this one for almost a year after getting it online from Bangkok. Drinking on Boxing Day, Dec 26th, 2016 in Chiang Mai. Nice brew. Its plumy and Christmasy with an appropriate coloured label for the festivities of the season.

Pours an amber-copper colour, with a big off white head that lasts all the while, leaving a small irregular lace. Aroma is earthy, with cloves, corianer, caramel, resine. Medium body, creamy palate and normal carbonation. Taste of bitter almonds, cloves, coriander, spices, oranges. Bitter finish. Really good.

Served in a footed glass at Mikkeller Bangkok.
Half finger if head with sticky lace tops a brownish murky beer. It smells earthy and distant (fades hops?) but with enough sweetness and Zing to pique my curiosity. I fear this keg might just be too old, because it's a thin sour sort of affair; acidic and shallow. Overall it's still an IPA, but muddled and unbalanced. Too much acid, not enough fruit or flowers.

Teku glass. Golden/reddish colour with dense, medium head. Average lacing. Malty (caramel) aroma, with spices and hops in the background. Medium bitterness, light to medium spicy aromas (mainly orange peel). From the middle taste is dominated by hops. Dry, semi thick texture, above average carbonation, Finish is long, dry and hoppy.
