My rating: 3 My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.69 My ratebeer.com rating: 3.6
Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 25th October 2018. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. Appearance: A hazy pale golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left lots of nice lacing. Aroma: Vanilla, orange, lemon peel and stone fruit. Taste: Biscuit malt, sweet orange, vanilla and cream soda with a touch of hop bitterness and pepper spice. Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: I think they pretty much delivered on what was stated. There was definitely some vanilla ice cream taste, but it also wasn’t the best vanilla ice cream I’ve tasted. At the same time, I’m also not so sure vanilla matches well with a Pale Ale.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 18th July 2015 and poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Appearance: The beer poured a hazy straw golden colour with a very small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma: Starts with sour lime and raspberries with hints of grapefruit and a strong peach finish. Taste: Strong sour notes, mainly of tart lime and lemon but also some grapefruit. Followed by tropical fruit flavours of mango and peaches. Mouthfeel: Light bodied, strong carbonation, dry, crisp. Overall: This exceeded my expectations by far and I wish I could buy this again. But as a limited brew and seemingly out of stock in Hong Kong, I fear I may not find this again.
