Notes: 12 fl oz bottle. A great beer to have with a burger and fries. Goes down smooth with no over powering bitterness or sweetness. A: Yellow & Gold with a decent firm head. S: Smells of cereal and other grain. T: A hint of malt, cereal, and grian that is not to overpowered and not to subtle; Has a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. D: Excellent drinkability. Very smooth. Not to bitter and not to sweet.

I must be on a different planet. Sweet, with a sweet after taste, this doesn’t taste like normal beer. very light on the hops side. Enjoyable... especially with a good spicy thai meal.

One of the few lagers i’ve actually recently enjoyed. Quite full of flavour and good with Thai food though also pretty good on its own. Its good to finally have a lager that is worth drinking.

A very good Thai lager. Found in most Thai restaurants. Has a malty ale-like flavour.

Pours a golden yellow with a modest head that remains till the end of the drink. I would drink this beer again, especially if in Asia.

I like the style of this beer. Had bottle and can. Thai cans are terrible, stick to the bottle. Its not 5% in thailand its 6.4% but varies. Impossible to rate because it changes. Good cold. Good cheap beer.

Bottle. Golden and slightly hazy.Sharp almost tinny edge. Some maltiness and left no lacing.Didn’t think it was as bad as some other reviewers have made out.

Picked up a six pack of this from Sawall Health Foods – nice to be able to get your liver supplements and beer in one stop. Expectations were low but this proved surprising good. Pour from an 11.5 oz bottle was medium gold tone with two fingers of dense head. Good head retention and lively carbonation make up for an otherwise thin palae. Pleasant aroma dominated by light aromatic hops. Flavor is clean and refreshing, but still somewhat complex. Interesting graininess at the start – no doubt the rice / malt combination – and very satisfying hops blend in the finish. fishi is a great mixutre of aromatic hoppiness that is nicely dry and bitter at the final end, with no linering aftertast. The flavor is actually rather unique and it does not slot well into any kind of style, but it is tasty and good.
