Aug 15, 2005 Pale straw color. Soapy and steady head. PIzza dough aroma. Not nearly as bad as we were thinking it would be. Very "asian" flavored.

Oct 5, 2002 Bottle. I owe a big thank you to Harry from the Hyperbaric chamber in Phucket Thailand for this beer. It was brought across the border from Cambodia. Angkor had a golden yellow color with a foamy white head which quickly laced. It had a musty aroma and was a little stronger than many Asian lagers with some citrus in the aroma. It had a dry palate.

Feb 13, 2004 I guess the setting clouds my view. I have just seen this marvel and am sitting in the Angkor Wat cafe 400 metres from the temple. The beer is less of a religious exereience but it is quite good, a beer that has qualities a number of Asian beers lack. There is a clean malt and hop aroma with a crisp head. A great body and hop flavour too. I won't was too lyrical but in all it knocks a lot of the other beers out, as I was with the temple.

Jul 22, 2002 Light yellow, minimal head. Mild Asian-spiced aroma (saffron?). No hop presence noted, hint of that same spice. Not sure I could handle more than one of these at any time.

Apr 19, 2002 Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, dense tiny particles. Aroma is lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers), lightly malty (grain), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Sweet ricey beer with an acidic finish, but has some redeeming qualities: aroma isn’t bad, not unclean, decent body.
