2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Fizzy golden with thin white head. Mild malty sweetness in the aroma. Taste is of malt with a hint of boiled band-aids in the finish. Decent mouthfeel and carbonation. $1
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
It came all the way from Thailand to disappoint the masses of Manitoba. Too bad. Thought it might have goen well with Pad Thai. Tasted brutal. Couldn’t finish it.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light gold in colour with strong carbonation. Mild grassy hop aroma, along with notes of rice and aluminum. Somewhat malt forward in the mouth with a semi-sweet element. Hints of corn sugar. Watery texture and under hopping make for a poor feeling on the palate. A pretty poor showing overall.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours the usual swill yellow, thin initial head, ok retention of what was there, lacing almost nil. The aroma was skunky initially, settling down a little to sweet corn. A touch of hops to keep this from being totally rice-corn sweet. Better than Budweiser but that’s not saying much. Darn, I already had Thailand checked off the passport too, lol.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Poured light pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light grassy aroma. Light body with a thin texture and soft texture. Light sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
3 other beers are put here as a Amarit beer. After some reserch and what I recall from my own travels to Thailand it is the same beer all the way! Just different label. The version I best know is under the name "NB Natural Brewed Special Lager", the label slightly different than the one showed here. The first one I tried was back in September 1997.
Bottle. Weak golden colour, ok malty aroma, goes down good with a nice clean smooth taste to it. Served cooled.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
UPDATED: OCT 8, 2008 A bit of malt, a bit of skunk, a bit of macro crap for a Thai monk. Soft carbonation with little head...Smells like halitosis a little bit. One can actually feel the starchiness of the rice in the mouthfeel. Well at least it has a mouthfeel.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: Clear yellow, vibrant, moderate head, sudsy white, mildly carbonated, little lacing. Sweet straw and grass on the nose. Pale malt flavor, somewhat sweet, a bit corn/rice like but not bad. Fairly smooth, clean, I think sweeter than most other examples. Moderate body and mouthfeel. A dash of pale fruit skin in this one too. I liked this one more than I had thought. A bit macro like, but clean and non-offensive. A very light sweeter than expected pilsner.
