Ah, the elusive Kuda Putih. I’ve seen some big ads on Java and Bali, but the beer seemed to escape me all the time. I finally stumbled across this beer in Kuta, Bali, in Warung Totemo. ABV 4.57%. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of some butter, vegetables, grain. Flavour is light sweet, light sour mash, light bitter finish with a vegetable aftertaste. Light bodied, prickly mouthfeel. A bit off-tasting.

620 ml green bottle, in Bali. ABV is 4.5%. Pale yellow colour, low white head. Typical green bottle "skunky" pale lager aroma, but not too bad. Some sweetish malty and grassy notes. The flavour is bland as expected, but not horrid. At least there is a hint of malts and hops, and it is not sugary sweet. Ice cold it may serve as a thirstquencher in the Indonesian heat.
