This was a Christmas gift in 2023, drunk in April 2024.
L: Crystal clear (minus the chill haze), deep golden colour, with large, fast-moving bubbles. The head is bright white, fluffy and reasonably long-lasting.
S: Metallic, sweet malts with the slightest touch of floral hoppiness. It smells pretty much exactly how I imagined it would, and I suspect flavour will follow a similar tack...
T: ...which it does. This tastes exactly like an Asian "premium" lager: slightly metallic and sweet, with the barest touch of hops and a hot, humid drinkability. I'm drinking it on an overcast mid-autumn evening, and this is not the environment the brewer imagined the beer being drunk in. That said, it tastes like an Asian lager should, so marked accordingly. The other thing to note is it's brewed by Pinnacle Drinks, the peak of Australian mainstream macro lager brewing mediocrity, and so they've done well to pack as much flavour into this one as they have.
M: Medium levels of carbonation and low carbonic prickle enhance its climate-specific appeal.
O: Ok, so I've judged this with leniency begotten of marking the beer to its style rather than whether I've particularly enjoyed it. I would not go out of my way to drink this unless I were in a hot, humid climate, and even then, there'd probably be tastier, craftier options I'd go long before I reached for another one of these.
Cheers!
