mkel07 (1556) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JUN 30, 2009
330ml bottle. It is easy to see why Thailand is not re-knowned for it’s beer when they offer up stuff like this. Amber in colour with a foamy white head that rapidly diminished to to a slick of thin bubbles. Extremely low carbonation and a skunky aroma that adds nothing to the experience. Flat tasting with a horrid flavour. The best thing about this beer is the label.

Goes down smooth. Did not meet my expectations. I bought it for the name to be honest. Pours a lemony yellow. Doesn’t have much of a head when you pour it out.

Barreras (368) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - JUN 22, 2009
Pours a light yellow with a typical lager taste. A little watery in flavor, not very complex. The best part of this beer is its drinkability.

kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUN 21, 2009
Bottle from a local Thai restaurant. Pours a light yellow color with thin head. Aroma is light with notes of honey, grass, wet hay, some light yeast. Flavor is light as well with notes of grass, yeast, honey, slight floral notes. Generally light body with watery finish. Not bad for a pale lager.

nate2g (1548) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 20, 2009
Bottle. Clear yellow with a thin white head. Sweet malt and light dusty hop notes. Thin bodied with a low bitterness in the finish. Inoffensive but another forgettable lager ticked off.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2009
Bottle. Low white and quickly dsiappearing fluffy hed. Clear golden body. Mild sweet and weak barley malt aroma and flavor with a low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Sparky (2128) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - APR 4, 2009
Bottle courtesy of BOLTZ7555 – thanks Jason! Pours clear yellow with a one finger white head. The nose was skunky at first but that faded away to sweet malt and grain. The taste is corn, sweet malt and a metallic hoppy/grass flavor in the finish. I was in the mood for a good lager, but Phuket…

@ $1.99/bottle...had to get it if nothing more than for it’s name. Not nearly as offensive as expected. Very minimal nose that exhibits a hint of citrus, dash of grass, and pinch of malt. Flavor is pretty clean making this highly drinkable. A bit thin but it is an "island lager". Did you expect complexity...REALLY???
