1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 rougeau13 (1065) - Texas, USA - JAN 19, 2011
Pale yellow, small white head. Aroma is typical, slight malt, bread, corn. Taste is typical too, though not too skunky or chemical. Decent body for the style. Decent for a pale lager, but thats about it.

Bottle. Pours medium amber very minimal white head. Aroma of toasted malts. Taste is similar with hop undertones. Finishes slightly bitter. Overall an okay lager but not premium in any fashion.

six pack shared by my buddy Cogan!
Pours a pale golden yellow color with a one finger frothy white head. Not as pale as other Euro Pales/American Adjuncts and surprisingly has pretty good retention, only slowly settling into a thin ring. Minimal lacing.
The aroma is kind of bland with some pale malt and grass notes but there is a decent amount of crisp hops. Unfortunately it also smells very grainy.
Light bodied with a decent balance of pale malt and crisp, slightly bitter hops. The hops are faint but add a little bit of flavor that is usually missing in these beers. Slight grass and straw notes but unfortunately the grainy notes from the aroma are very apparent. Lots of corn and rice but overall this beer isn’t terrible. Cogan brought this to a Thai restaurant and they were a nice compliment to the spicy food.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2011 This is perhaps the best widely available asian lager out there. This is a distinctly german beer. Nice hops. Crisp clean finish.

Flaske 33 cl. Bleg gul med middel hvidt hoved. Svage malt aroma. Smag overrasker til det positive med. Mild og let drikkelig med noter af humle, uden at virke bitter i afslutningen

This is your basic american pale lager in almost every way except the label in a few other notes. It’s got a little more carbonation than most which gives it a more refreshing feel. It also has a more pleasant aroma than most lagers; there is a small hint of citrus to it. Not a great beer but if you’re in a budget in Thailand I guess it’s a bargin.

20.11.2004. 0,33l Bottle. I can see from my notes that I have sampled a bottle with abv 6%. Pale yellow colour with white head. Malty aroma with ok bitterness.

Pours like a pale lager. Aroma less, tastes bleak, with only faint traces of malt and hops. Is doable with with, but otherwise stay away. Oh also heard they put something in it to give you a headache after 3-4, due to alcohol abuse in Thailand?
