Bottled. Clear golden in colour. Minor white bubbly head. It has a swet and corn like aroma. The flavour is sweet an you can taste corn. It has a dry aftertaste.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma of yeast (!!!), rice and a bit alcohol. Flavour is hoppy and becomes sweeter towards the finish. Quite harsh hoppyness.

Bottled. Golden color, small white head. Sweet malty nose - propably rice is used. Fruity, light tropical lager. Light apple flavors. Watery. Boring. One step down from regular Singha.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2006 Bottled. Clear pale golden. Aroma of orange and grain. Sweet and papery with fairly soft mouthfeel and clean flavour profile. Alcohol is sadly evident even at 5.3%. Despite some hop presence it has near no bitterness, instead the finish is mellow and syrupy. Stay with the regular Singha instead.

Mild lager beer, a slight less bitter than the original Singha. A little bit dry to my taste.

Light golden colour. Grainy, slightly fruity aroma. Slightly grassy flavour with a hint of bitterness. Finish is a little bit astringent.

This appears to be a specialty brew to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the brewery. As it is not the same ABV as any of its stablemates I have the great honour to introduce this new beer. It looks like all of the others of its ilk of course, a pale lager is exactly that. There is a fime bead in the glass with only a wisp of head. This is ok as there is ample lacing in the glass. The aroma is like its heavier big brother with an obvious aroma of the alcohol to come. For the climate this flavour is acceptable, just like in Manila a couple of days ago. It is all about context. Slightly metallic flavour and dryness to finish.
