pours a pale yellow. quite the boring beer. not bad. just really bland. not even getting some corn off of this. maybe good for summer.

Bottle from the Arlington Whole Foods. Light yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is weak, but sweet, grainy, and almost hoppy. Taste is light grain, a little hops, slightly fruity, but mostly just a light grain taste. Great finish.

courtesy of markwise. pours golden, white head aroma and flavors, pale malts, light roast, sweet grainy finish. Pretty decent if you compare it to most of sub standard pale lagers we get in Florida from the Caribbean countries.

Bottle. Tibet tick. Pours clear yellow with an initial one finger white head that faded fast. The nose is sweet malt and grain. The taste is pretty much the same with some light grassy hops in the finish. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Meh, about what I expected.

Yellow pour, white head. Grainy aroma. Flavor is the same. Not good, but its another country tick.

12 oz. bottle via trade; apparently this is available in some places in the Bay Area, which is cool. The bottle is really cool, with a colorful Tibetan prayer flag design. Pours a clear light yellow-gold color with a half-inch thick white head and just a little lacing. Aroma of grains, grass, corn, pale malts, faint hops, and metallic notes. Not too bad for the style. Then the flavor comes along and doesn’t deliver the goods. Corny, grainy, grassy, metallic, funky, and mildly soapy. Shoot, I had higher hopes for a beer I really wanted to like. Light-bodied, with fairly low carbonation for the style. Goes down easy. I’m still giving this a lot of extra points in the Overall category. If you have access to this for cheap, go ahead and buy a bunch instead of something like Miller Lite because it goes down as easily and supposedly goes to a good cause; the bottle says 10% of proceeds are donated to Tibetan causes, though within the boundaries of China now, I find that hard to believe. Drink Beer, Free Tibet!

Looks and smells how i thought it might. actually tasted a lot better than i thought. To me this is what Michelob should have been. 5.99/6pk at the local liquor store. nice lively mouthfeel. actually taste hops at the finish! refreshing. i would do this over the other 5.99 beer they have (Singha). Not bad.

Pours pale golden with good clarity, and medium sized white head that recedes to a thin rim. Nose has a whiff of cereal-grain malt. Light malt on the palate as well, with not a lot of balancing hops. Clean and easy drinking, inoffensive, but also a bit uninspiring - even with its noble origin.
