Tasted 03/08/2005. Stubbie from BrewNZ.
Pale, bright, gold with white, disappearing, head that ends up incredibly lacey. Low level of visible carbonation. Mild nose doesn’t inspire much; some grassiness and a touch of corn is about all I get. Good sweet/bitter balance for an international lager. Hop influence is also a bit spicey and prickly. Lingering bitter finish is tainted, a little, with a slight metallic element that I’m guessing the judges did’t get in their small servings (gold medal winner at BrewNZ). Quite drinkable but nothing special; german influenced but classed as an "Australiasian lager".

Apr 10, 2008 Pretty stock standard asian lager, perhaps a little rougher and thinner than the vietnamese standard. Very pale, small head, slight sulfur aroma and a bit of adjunct. Easy enough to drink and pretty light in the mouthful. A hint of saltiness and some light bread in the flavour, really light on the bitterness, stretches in the finish to a bit of twang. Pretty shithouse.

An ok beer to some fishdinner. Not that bad, but nothing special. Do not expect too much here in developland.

Oct 9, 2006 Bottle in Vietnam. Thin and fizzy. Almost flavourless, but at a stretch I’d say apple. Mild sweetness and a bland finish.
