COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Note that the label says "Special Imported Ale", but this is clearly a pilsner style lager. The "NB" stands for "Naturally Brewed", and research shows that it contains rice. This beer does not appear to be available in Thailand but is still available in export markets.

Golden colour. Aroma mixes grassy hops, acetaldehyde and light alcohol. Aahhh, the taste of Thailand. Bland international lager, tasting mainly of faint pale malts and late alcohol, with only the slightest suggestion of hop.

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.

bhensonb (7125) - Woodland, California, USA - MAR 10, 2007
No corn aroma; light grassy, hoppy aroma (very light). Clean smell. Clear light gold color with a white head that left quickly. It was vigorous as it poured though. Medium mouhtfeel. Not much taste. There is definitely some hop in the finish, and it probably qualifies as a pilsener. It has that dry finish. Could use a tad more hop. As often, though not always, a lager better than Bud.

Tmoney99 (6888) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - NOV 16, 2006
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.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 4, 2008
A golden lager with a thin white head. Aroma is light sweet and corny, very mineral. In mouth, a perfume sweet beer with light metallic hops, very short in mouth. Cloying. Bottle from Piscator,MLCC.

Ughsmash (5627) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 22, 2006
Bottle, un-dated. Poured a very light, bright golden with a smort cap of white head... very lightly-suspended floaties in there. First impression from the aroma was "crappy & skunky Thai pale lager"... thankfully the skunk receded after a minute or so, and was replaced by some sweet malts and grass. Light, but fairly pleasant. I rather enjoyed the flavors... sweet pale malts, hints of lemongrass, and a faint floral bitterness coming through in the end. Carbonation was medium-high, and the brew was very lightly-bodied. Left some sticky corn remnance when it was all gone. This wasn’t exciting by any means, but certainly palatable.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - FEB 26, 2010
Bottle. Pours a pale golden body with a thin white head. Grainy, sweet cereal notes, some light earth tones, paper or more cardboard y tones. Rice y sweetness with some light apple hints, rather bland and underwhelming.

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - NOV 18, 2007
Green bottle 330 ml
Appearance :Pale golden look with short lived top leaving only fragmental white ring 1+
Nose : Oxidized aromas due to poor choice of bottle color. Beyond that citric, grassy nose with plain sweet malt base.4-
Flavour/Palate : Medium light bodied, some malt decency shown. Medium carbonation .Light grassy, herbal hop side. Chewy finish. Soft lager that is blend of Euro-Asian influences with greater deal of the latter one.
