2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled in clear glass as Siam Gold. Corny nose with pale malt, but not skunky or stale (look how low I’ve set the bar!). Light golden body with a white head. Taste is a little sweet (but dries somewhat), thick with malt and harsh dirt, and to my surprise a little boozy. Medium-full body, crisp and possible refreshing with food to mask the impurities.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had this as alias ’Siam Gold’ in a Thai Restaurant, Wantage, Oxon, 14.01.11 Pours gold, easy drinking, refreshing and a good glugger to counter the very hot soup ’Tom Yum’ soup that I had. Ok so it’s a bit sweet and has all the usual pale lager flavours but it’s fine and did a good job. A5 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9

33 cL bottle (as Siam Gold). Pours clear golden yellow with a white head. Aroma is slight grassy and fruity nose. Flavour is soft hoppy flavoured, soft malty base. Dry bitter finish. Quite decent for a pale lager and goes fantastic to spiced Thai food.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: AUG 21, 2007 Originally reviewed back on 12/15/02. Received 2.4 score. Added to my RB list to check "Thailand" as a beer country consumed. Another rotating beer in my Thai restaurant trips. Super-sweet flavors and corny aromas. Drinkable as it quiets some of the heat from Thai food.
