1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
UPDATED: JUL 18, 2006 [Bottled (imported to HongKong by Heineken HK)] Pale golden, reasonable head. Aroma of rice and vodka. Dryish, papery and fruity with soft but mellow and thin mouthfeel. Appley finish without bitterness.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear golden coloured body with a frothy white head. Aroma of pale malt, a touch of hay and not much else. Light-bodied; Mild earthy malt with some light sugars, a touch of herbal notes and a little bit of alcohol bite at the end. Aftertaste shows a good pale and light flavour with a touch of earth noticeable and a little more alcohol warmth. Overall, not a horrible choice to pair with Khmer food, a nice light offering to have with the heat of the day in Cambodia. I sampled this beer, served in a jug (~1 litre) for 11000Rial (US$2.75) poured and always refilled every sip I took by a Anchor saleswoman/beermaid at Restaurant 54 on St 178 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on 02-April-2012.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Frothy head which soon disappears. Variable quality in cans. Curiously flat taste. Can change from smooth and tasty to sour and nasty. Still the best quaffing beer I’ve found in Hainan, though the Tiger Draft is not bad. Label says 4.4% ABV but it doesn’t taste that strong. Can’t complain for only 3 yuan a can (Y2,5 in the supermarket).
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured pale straw color with small white head and no lacing. Aroma of grains. Taste is lightly sweet with bitter hop aftertaste which is undesirable. This is not a very enjoyable beer.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
355 ml can. Pours yellow with hardly any head. Skunky cabbage aroma. Tastes fresher than it smells. No bad flavors. Watery and extremely light.
