3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My first beer from Thailand, by my suprise a good lager with a full body. (Bottle 33cl)
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is a nice, tasty lager with a strong and somewhat unusual taste. It’s gold with a big white head that lasts but leaves no real lacing. The aroma is grain, sweet malt flowery hops, pine needles. It smells basically like a lager but stronger, more flowery, with a different element that is nice but hard to pin down. The taste is similar and strong and persistent, with definite alcoholic warmth, floweriness, and a bitterness in the finish. To me it resembles a more refined, toned-down Rainier Ale (which I actually like).
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
clear golden color. Grany, corny nose. Same flavour with a typical sweet corn, and vegetalness. Meh, its a lager. nothing speical.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
0.33L bottle. beautifull clear light golden colour. Some malt and weak hops aroma but not too distinctive, strong alcoholic presence, aftertaste quite short. not bad... but still just another commercial lager.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Another lager. Golden coloured with a slight off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt and tired hops. Flavour inclined towards sweetness with next to no finish other than a hint of metallic skunk. Dull.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
An okay beer, better than most American macros. I had this at a Thai restaurant with lunch. It pours gold more than straw which I liked. The aroma is very grainy, some esters in there, and perhaps a little bit of corn. The flavor is much the same, grainy malt and some bitterness are detectable. Not a bad beer, but I don’t really think it complements Thai food very well as it’s not bitter enough to cut through food that’s as spicy as I like Thai dishes, they should really jack up the hops for that. If you’re eating Thai this beer is okay with sweet curries, Pad Thai, and the like, but get something like an IPA if you’re eating something spicy or with a lot of chilis.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
From a beers of the world mix pack, thoughtful xmas gift. Pours pale gold with a small white head. Grainy nose, mild hops. Fairly crisp, light and fizzy on the palate. Actually has a subtle, but nice maltiness up front, can’t say that about all the beers in this style.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
0,33 l bottle. Clear golden yellow, small head. It starts with a malty and hoppy flavour, but finishes quickly in a watery but bitter aftertaste.
