Can. Easier to find in Cambodia than Vietnam. Pours bright gold, has a white head. Aroma of Jolly Rancher apple candy and some green vegetables. Slightly sticky palate is not that bad. Tastes ok with a decent dry finish and seems to have some sweet malts and even some hops.

This one’s on the lower end of wonderful world of Vietnamese lagers. Tastes like sour malt that goes flat in your mouth and sits badly in your stomach. Drank in a can in Saigon

Slightly fluorescent gold, not much head. The aroma is appley and plasticy. Slightly sticky palate is mainly malt with light grains and acetaldehyde. Not particularly offensive but hardly inspiring.
