Can@Hotel. Apples, pear and light bitter aroma and flavour. Like a East European strong lager. Likeable for South East Asia standards.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Sweet aroma with malt, caramel and icy grains. Flavour was sweet with malt, caramel and breadish notes. Finished sweet.

Can. A dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor sweet with notes of boring malt and a bit straw, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks MadsBerg for sharing.

Possibly the best Thai beer I’ve had but was saved in part by the high abv. Malt and alcohol lends a strangely attractive layer of sweet aniseed and fills he body out nicely.

Can at Papsø. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Sweet aroma of caramel with notes of bread and alcohol. Malty flavour of caramel with noets of bread and alcohol. Burning alcoholic finish.

(330ml can, spelled “Extra”) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a tall frothy head. Aroma of Play-doh, mustiness, and yeast. Flavor of grain, crackers, and alcohol.

Can 50 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. Clear golden with a tiny off-white head. Sweet malty and alcoholic aroma. Medium body, brewing cereal and sugars. Some metal and sulphur. No real bitterness. 130909

clear dark yellow, small thick white head. aroma is mild flowery and sweet. flavor is sweet, bitter, alcoholic.

Can from Thai supermarket. The big brother of Cheers, this is a fairly decent and surprisingly well-balanced (alcohol-wise) strong lager beer which I see is somehow classified as a malt liqour although I fail to see the difference between this and your run-of-the-mill strong lager. Oh well. Drinkable enough, but nothing great of course.

Canned. Golden coloured. Clear. White dense head. Grass sweetness and straw in the aroma. Flavour of sweetness and fruits. Thin. Ends on a dry sweet note.
