Its different singing on a big stage and playing at a cozy hangout spot such as this. The experience to be close and intimate with your fans is something money can’t buy.” said James Baum.

Adam Lobo from Dragon Red said “It is an honour to be performing for Arthur`s Day. For us, the magic of the celebrations is performing for fans in our local hangout spots. You cannot beat the atmosphere, the excitement and the fun that the day brings. It will be a great night of rock and roll.”

When the beer is served?
Have a very nice hoppy/citrusy floral aroma.

How’s the taste?
The entry give a hoppy bitter taste with light sweetness at the end. It is a light body beer with light roasted flavour on linger. At 5%ABV the beer is actually quite easy to drink and quite a well balance beer. Not much after taste, just some light flavours.

What’s the colour?
Crystal reddish brown

Where to drink?
Dranked it during Singapore Beerfest Asia 2011.

My Opinion:
I quite like this beer. I like the bitter taste of it which kind of stay there for a while. I can drink this beer all night long as is quite balance and easy to drink. Too bad they don’t have it in Malaysia yet.

Beef Ribs @ D’Legend, TTDI

Those ribs and mash are really nice. You can use fork just split the meat off. Tender, juicy and flavourful. Paired with stout will make this dish even more stand out. Maybe the roasted malty flavour compliment the meat very well. Plus the thick body of stout bring forth extra goodness to it.

After that finish up the vege to give some refreshing palate as you may feel a bit stuffed with meat and potatoes. The ribs here are really nice. Would maybe try weissbier to paired with it if there’s no stout available. Lager won’t do the job that great, as it may wash all the beef fats away too soon. Maybe some english ale can make some justice to it as well.

Have a try and let me know what you think?
