DownsouthGav (601) - Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 13, 2007
Bottle at Thai Silk, Waterloo. Yesty nose, sweet and aromatic notes. Taste is sweet and smooth which I assume owes to the fermentation of the rice. Dry aspartic finish. Not gret - think bud.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - SEP 10, 2007
From a $1.25 50ML bottle at New Season--Poured a straw clear yellow body with a moderate white fizzy head. Nose of adjunct rice and grains (at least they admit it and it is understandable due to the place from where it comes). Decently crisp and clean. Some hop presence in the nose. Not a poor lager.

cbkschubert (2752) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - SEP 3, 2007
33 cl bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very light, tiny bubble carbonation. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is grain (corn) and herbal hops. Flavor is light grain and hops. A very easy to drink beer. I’d rather drink this than any BMC. Worth a try.

hapjydeuce (856) - San Diego, California, USA - SEP 2, 2007
A very drinkable beer, especially with good Thai tum yam soup or pad thai. Light and thirst quenching, but nothing to even attempt a serious rating over. Available pretty much all over Thailand, its a bit metallic, some hay and grass, but one can muster it on a hot summers day in Asia.

mansquito (1818) - washington, Washington DC, USA - AUG 29, 2007
Almost no head. Really pale gold color. Light aroma. Light flavor. Nothing offensive. Drinkable, but the taste is meant to be a minimum methinks.

rocbyter (1530) - Waterbury, Connecticut, USA - AUG 15, 2007
Strong skunky aroma. Light golden color with a small white head. Taste is less skunky than the aroma. Finishing with a light amount of hops.

yespr (22204) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 12, 2007
33 cL bottle (surprised to find that this was the beer export rather than the lager which is widely available). Pours yellow with a quickly disappearing white head. Slight sweet aroma of malt and a minor sweat note reappearing briefly in the flavour too. Slight sweet flavoured, very mild malt note. Mild bitterness in the finish blending smoothly in with remaining soft malt notes.

Bottle at ThaiOn. Light golden with a white head. Aroma moderate malty (caramel), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter/acidic. Light body. Good with Thai food.
