Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 04/02/24. Golden with a just off white cap that thins a little but stays for the show. Nose is pale malts, grains, hedgerow, light sulphuric edge. Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, grains, faint lemon, straw, stale bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Fine for the style.

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo with ITFCDan. Aroma of malty, caramel and cardboard. Taste is quite plain but inoffensive. Easy to drink.

Clear, golden to amber color, lots of carbonation and weak head. Aroma of malt with hints of white wine, some grapes and apples. Taste is bitter-sweet, but the carbonation is balanced. Some fermented fruits and a very nasty wet cardboard-like taste. Dry finish, a rough bitterness, short.

Bomber poured and shared by Eric. Dude, this is awesome. I saw this sitting across the room and I said, "what do you have here?!?". He replies " I don't know... Let's find out.". I nerd out over rare country lagers more than rare whales. Cheers to that! I was just swinging by to grab a growler. Not anymore. Pours a clean, shiny golden pour, plenty of carb, a decent amount of active fizz head. A cornish grain on the nose, which had me worried, but the flavor on this blows away all expectations from an international pale lager. Barely a corn grain, a slight sweet malt. Interesting enough hops added to this. Am I supposed to like this this much? Either way, I do.

Strawy, grainy aroma, a mild touch of silage. Taste is minimally sweet pale malty, grassy hoppy overtones, some malt spiciness, moderate hop bitterness; slightly watery. Clean and well balanced.

Bottle received as a gift from a friend. Thank you! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ home. BBF 02/16. Sticker on the back states that this was imported into Belgium. Surprised that there is a market big enough for this in Belgium to warrant shipping this across the globe. Clear golden, disappearing paper-white head. Nose is nasty corn, huge vegetable oil, very sweet industrial corn & eggs. Taste is sweet empty corn, vegetable oil, low mineral, big sweet corn, basic weird sweetener & corn sweetness, vegetables, starch, hay,… Oily, tad watery, quite industrial sweet,.. Very basic sweetness, no real bad flavours,… Not very good but I have definitely had worse, I expected this one to be worse.

Couple of 50cl bottles in my Kathmandu hotel. Pours a clear gold with some sticky, white head. Doesn’t look bad. Nose has some mild grass notes, a little lemon, but quite corny, a little white flour, quite crackery. Flavor is a bit weaker, lemon, yeast, white flour, a little vitamin C. Watery finish. Had worse.

Bottle. A clear, quite pale golden beer with a small, white head. The aroma is fruity and grainy with a touch of rice cooking water. Rather rice-ish flavor, with grains, apples and pears and the vaguest bitterness. Thin on the palate, with a soft carbonation. Semi-dry. Lasting fruity finish. Surprisingly thin, and not very good either. 141219

Nepali beer! But it is owned by a big European brewery. Sadly lacking in flavor and interesting elements - bland and watery, with no discernible hop content. It might contain some wheat and rice.

330 ml green bottle bought at a Nepalese restaurant somewhere on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei.

Dull golden yellow colour; Less than one-quarter finger head and residual soapy white foam which fades in 10 seconds; Moderate sticky lacing with active carbonation; Pungent smell of malt, with initial light skunk (lasted for 1 minute), grains, corn, light wet cardboard, hints of sourness, very light lemon and smelly grass; Medium sweet taste of light malt, with light syrup, corn, light wet paper, light lemon, minimal bitter hops and light grass; Light body. Watery palate; Mouth feel is very light malt in thin body, thinned syrup with is slightly cloying , some corny taste, nagging light wet cardboard. Poor!... Hoppiness is initial light skunk followed by smelly grass to nose. Light lemon and low grass in taste. Low bitterness in background for syrupy non-finish; Wet after taste. Sweet and light papery to mouth.

Comments: Poor lager from Nepal. The green bottle may have contributed to light skunk and slight oxidation, but all in all it’s just light-weight, teeth-numbing sweetness and useless smelly hops. Unenjoyable, and I was glad I didn’t ruin my Nepalese dinner with this crap. Drain pours!

The best known Nepalese beer next to Nepal Ice and Everest, from a Carlsberg-owned brewery in Katmandu. Thin, snow white head, colour clear golden blonde with calm sparkling. Sweet grainy aroma, typical Asian lager with hints of rice, honey, bread dough, powdered sugar and mineral water. Rather neutral taste, grainy, bit corn-like, sweetish with minerals, smooth, soft carbonation, very mild hoppiness in the finish, which stays grainy rather than becoming actually bitter. Nothing exciting apart from the fact that it comes from a country hardly anyone would go to for beer purposes.

It’s like a tasteless lager, with no aroma and with no bitterness. But still in mind blowing hot Nepal it’s unbelievable refreshing.
