Dull gold colour. Peelike appley kind of nose. Minerally water taste with lots of carbonation. Apple-skunk character like some of the lousier Canadian swills.

UPDATED: AUG 10, 2011 Had to downgrade this on further consultations... It’s pretty rough after a few drinks. Drank in many small bottles in Mui ne.

A clear yellow colored beer, with a white head. The aroma of some unfresf malts with hints of fruits. The taste is malty with some bitter and notes of sweet. The aftertaste is dry some bitter and musty.

Can 33 cl. Courtesy of my cousin Martin. Pours yellow with tiny impurities and a small white head. The nose is dominated by brewing cereal. Medium body, brewing cereal - and a foul chemical tang when you sink it, so avoid doing that! Light bitterness. 151010

Canned. Pale golden, coarse airy head. Sweet and fruity. Light bodied and heavily ricey with saké-like licorice flavour. Salty finish. The saké flavour is actually pretty interesting, but othwerise it’s a dysmal lager.

Bottle @ Cafe Stop in Hanoi. Medium gold with frothy head. Alright grassy aroma smells bland but inoffensive. Nice level of carbonation, good palate. Flavors are on the sweet side, with mineral water finish. Not bad, not good,. Unexceptional swill.

Bottle. Pale golden with a minimal white head. Malty and light fruit with underlying buttery notes. Not bad but probably should be served too cold to be enjoyed.
