Crockett (960) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 7, 2005
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2005 Very light clear apple juice pour with a very thin small soapy white head. Stale ricey/cereal aroma. Sweetened dull flavours. Finish is empty and watery. Pretty good. It is a fairly refreshing tropical styled beer.

Radek Kliber (5906) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - MAR 7, 2005
Bright gold, lightly carbonated lager. Sweet aroma, malty. Light gentle mat underlying, fairly smooth. Like foreign helles? No major flaws here

IPFreely (1471) - Sanborn, New York, USA - MAR 4, 2005
Pale straw color, white head. Sweet and a little vegetal, a bit off. Inoffensive, just off and fairly watery.

legion242 (1999) - Richardson, Texas, USA - FEB 27, 2005
Pale straw in color. Slight head. Unoofending. Very mild. Very slight hop bitterness. Better then I had expected.

Dixen (1465) - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA - FEB 21, 2005
Corny and bland aroma. Very pale yellow, almost looks like water, small fizzy white head. Bland, watery and taste of corn. Poor beer.

robertsreality (2460) - Minnesota, USA - FEB 15, 2005
Light Gold Coloring with Big White Head. Sudsy Aroma. Week Grains, Sweet Malt and a Bit Skunky Througout. I’m Sure This is Better Overseas But I do Not Think I would Touch it Again on American Soil.

ptsack (1) - Vientiane, LAOS - FEB 10, 2005 does not count
UPDATED: MAR 31, 2009 Beerlao is the best local beer, according to Time Asia Magazin (The Asia’s best) , november 2004. I like it very much Phoutthasack

Jeppe (2631) - Ølbutikken, DENMARK - FEB 3, 2005
Clear golden color, foamy white head. Maize and hints of fruit and hop in the aroma. Sweet malt flavor. Flowery and hoppy tones. A sweet and quite bland lager.

Ungstrup (26261) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - JAN 22, 2005
A hazy light yellow beer with no head. Both the aroma and flavor are sour as if brewing cereal has been used, but also hoppy. Should probably not be drunk on a Danish winters night, but rather on a humid hot day in Laos.

badgerben (4253) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JAN 22, 2005
Light piss color with a htin head. Very grainy and dusty aroma. Tastes like a grain silo, but very crisp and not horrific. I could actually stand to drink this on occassion.
