Phuket Lager Beer

Brewed by San Miguel Thailand
Style: Pale Lager
Banmai, Mueang, Pathum Thani Province, Thailand

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Very pale clear yellow with small white head. Weak aroma of hops and a citrus twist. Very easy to drink but you might say zzzz before it´s empty.

Light-gold appearance is a bore to look at. Euro-pils-styled hop and wood aromas hint at refreshment. While the palate and flavour fulfill refreshment expectations, the overall taste experience is a watered-down letdown of insipid cereal, hop and granulated sugar. Zzzzz...

Bottled (filled 12/2006)
Golden color, small white head. Strong aroma of rice. Typical light palated tropical lager with evident corn-flavor and notes of skunky hops.

This had that crappy beer aroma.I poured it fast so it had a huge head.Color light piss yellow.Flavors of yeast,rice,bamboo?Palate was somewhat sticky .I gave it an extra point for appearance for the cool bottle design.Nott too bad.Tastes comparable with the mass produced American beers.

Bottle from Trader Joes; grainy nose with an off odor (Do they use bamboo to brew this?) Pale gold, small white head; Doesn’t taste real bad, has a little malt and hops along with a tiny bit of shunk.

Clear yellow pour with a ring of white lace on top. Unpleasant aroma and flavor of skunk and sweet adjuncts. The palate is light and watery.

Bottled, BB 9/25/07 (kinda surprised they give a 1yr freshness horizon here). Poured a clear, somewhat bright golden with rising carbonation and a dusting of white head. Aroma was of sweet, bready pale malts and a pinch of lemon.. nothing offensive.. smelled refreshing. Flavor was of light, sweet bready malts, again with a hint of citrus... Lighter-bodied w/ some sour and grainy notes on the palate. Nothing wrong with this, but nothing to make me go back.

The best thing about this beer I found, was the label. Nice to have in Patong but there are better options.
