2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20

1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Bland pale lager with lots of grain and sickly sweet malt. Distinct lack of win.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
A lot less fun than the island from which it takes its name. Pale gold with a dim head. Husky aroma with some odd notes - violets, rainwater and Seltzer. Fizzy palate. Oversweet honey malts dominate before an unpleasantly astringent hop buzz. Has a medicinal fruitiness, like cough syrup. Cardboardy malts. Overall, very poor and hard to finish. (330ml bottle from Randwick Cellars. BB 17/4/09)
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Had from the bottle into a pint glass at a restaurant. A surprise from a green bottle for sure... Not too shabby! No skunk, nice sweetness, and a somewhat corny fade. Nice drinkable lager.

~Pours a pale clear gold with mild carbonation and big fluffy white head.
~Sweet malt and wet hay scent. Perhaps some saaz hops.
~Malty biscuity taste with spicy hops.
~Light crisp feel, clean quick finish.
~Nice made pale lager. Just like I expect them to be. Clean and refreshing.

I always want to pronounce this as "F*ket" but of course I know better. Sure I do. The hoppy aroma jumped out as soon as the cap came off, and that’s the best of it. A frothy white head reduced itself quickly, over top of a clear gold body. Aroma was not so bad. The taste was watery and weak, like a light beer, and seemed perfumed to boot. Aftertaste was pretty much nada. My second Thai beer, and for sure the lesser of the two. Singha is better and cheaper.
