Reminds me of Heineken. Nice malty taste but could use more hop bitterness. Goes good with Thai food.

Color is a pale to clear yellow with a small white head, some very small tight lacing. Smell is faintly sweet and some grain as in bread thats soft in the back. Taste is clean and sweet with a grainy backing thats lightly bread-like and finishes with a small bitter hop bit that drys slightly. Feel is light, crisp, and clean with a sweetning thats light and finishes slightly dry and bitter from hop. This was very refreshing to have with my mildly spicey thai food. Would settle for this over many other Asian imports.

12 oz bottle—1st 6 pack I got was an outdated batch, which I didn’t notice till I was having the 1st beer from it and not enjoying it too much. The first one fit a number of descriptions I’ve read on this beer, like-skunky, not much different than the US macros, shipping conditions that the beer was subjected to, etc.. The store was kind enough to do a swap for a different 6 pack with a more recent bottling date. So, that’s the 6 pack I will rate as there was a big difference between the 2. Pours a mild yellow, pale golden color, white head that is quite high, reduced to about 1/2 “ and held for much of that beers existence. Aroma is light and citrusy, lime possibly? Along with a sweetness, possibly corn. Carbonation and taste are good, an enjoyable beer.

Pours a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, floral, a hint of grain, and peppery hops. Flavor is honey, floral, and a light peppery finish.

Probably the best option for a lager, when one goes to the local Chinese restaurant. Pale in colour and quite ricey - I wouldn’t drink this in the pub as is by no means a session beer; however, tastes good when one is tucking into a spicy Szechuan labrador and a sweet and sour viper! As the late Bruce Forsyth was wont of saying: "The rice is right!"

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2008 12 oz bottle from Bull Run. This beer has a nice aroma and smooth taste, not much there, but easy to drink.

Clear golden blond coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Sweet (nuts) aroma. Full slightly creamy palate. Finish is first little bitter later you taste walnuts. Quite longer finish. Special one, I appreciated it very much. Keep the nuts coming.

A: The beer pours a pale straw color with lots of visible carbonation and a short lived white head.
S: Lots of corn and rice aromas to it, which isn’t really surprising. A light/pale malt aroma and a little bit of flowers and grass. Minimal yeast and bread notes.
T: A light bready flavor with a surprising amount of malt flavor. Light bitterness and grassy notes with just a hint of skunk. Sweet grain, particularly from the adjuncts.
M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: A light and easy to drink beer. Not really my favorite, but it goes well with a Chinese meal.
