Poured from a bottle into a glass while in Thailand. Aroma has a medium light graininess. Medium light hop character that is slightly woody as well as floral and grassy. Pours a clear, pale golden yellow with a moderately thick white head that shows average retention. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor has a light sweetness, but finishes crisp and dry. Light malt flavor with light hop notes. Light bitterness. Hops are woody with some floral and grassy notes. Flavor has a surprisingly strong water character to it. No sulfur or diacetyl. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a surprisingly weak alternative to Thai beers, this is very clean but is less flavorful than the Thai lagers. Also, there is something in this beer that is causing me to have an allergic reaction, I believe it is a type of hops but I am not sure which type. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

0,33L can. Pours and smells like typical macro pale lager. Taste is rather sweet, but somewhat artificial. It is over carbonated. Overall: rather disgusting beer. This one is rather bad even by macro lager standards.

Very happy when I saw this one in a shop, but was slightly disapointed. Nothing wrong with the appearance - clear and golden with medium white head which quickly settles down. The aroma is very mild, only a bit of hops and dusty grains. The taste is nothing special - not bitter nor sweet, quite hoppy and almost too grainy. Also lacks a bit of bubbles to make it more refreshing. All in all, not very pleasant.

32 cl. (really?) bottle @ home. Procured from Sun Wah Supermarket in Antwerp. Bottled on 23/06/2013 (kudos for a macro brewer actually nothing this). Pours a clear advertising golden with a quickly disappearing white head. Nose is pale lager grains, some lemonade, artificial lemon, sweeteners feel, sugary, faint skunk,… Taste is soapy grains, pale lager, some metallic bitterness, hop extract, pretty nasty soap, artificial feel,… Touch sticky, touch higher carb. Not the worst as far as pale lagers go but this just another somewhat drinkable pale lager.

(Can, 0.3 l - the Hong Kong version, courtesy of rosenbergh, 20130724) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was small, white and it disappeared quickly. Aroma had starch and sweetness. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, starch and hint of bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet. Tastes like a soda with hint of bitterness. I’m unable to like this.
