pours a pale orange-amber with a small biege head, and good lacing.

smell is of corn, malt, some citrus, and a few nuts.

taste is sweet, malt, honey nut, and ends a touch on the bitter side.

overall almost the same as the aldrich pale ale, but not as flavorfull. a good try for a hong kong micro.

Me: What kind of beer is Too Soo?

Some Samoan: It’s a draft beer.

Me: What kind of draft beer?

Some Samoan: It’s a dark beer.

Me: Is it still happy hour?

Some Samoan: Yes. You get two for one.

Me: Sold!

Hmm…this is strange. This beer looks, smells, and tastes exactly like the Aldrich Bay Pale Ale I just had.

Me: Is this the same beer I just had?

Some Samoan: No. This one is darker. Would you like some peanuts?

Appearance: Transparent, orange caramel color with a thin white head and minimal carbonation.

Aroma of caramel malt, bubble gum, and light citrus hops.

Taste is dominated by a sweet fruity yeast flavor but there is a nice caramel base with some light hops in the finish.

Mouthfeel: Very light bodied. Flatish. Powdery and sweet. Slightly unbalanced in that direction.

Drinkability: Dull and bland. With a body that doesn’t exactly say drink me.

This reminds me a lot of those crappy pale ales that AB produces for chain restaurants.
