Bottle at Beervault, Bangkok. Poured a hazy light straw with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is light malt. The flavour is light bitter with a watery light malt palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Can’t believe how much I paid for one of the worst beers in the world. Oh woe is the life of a ticker. Remind me not to drink water from the foothills of the Himalayas!

330ml bottle. Golden amber colour with a foam white head and aroma of malt, grain, hay, grass. Taste is similar, sweetish, malt & grain with some grassiness. Watery but slightly creamy mouthfeel, light bodied, high carbonation, malty finish. OK Lager.

Another "exotic" lager. Pours with a typical golden color, not completely clear but almost. The head is average and quickly dying. The aroma is quite gentle, although I could point out some hops and grains (probably rice) as well. The taste is similarly gentle with a slight bitterness (no sweetness here) and with a surprisingly nice bittery aftertaste - not watery. A very nice one, must say.

Bottle 33 cl. Golden, clear with minimal white head. Aroma of malt, grass and light citrus. Light bitter taste with a short malt and grassy end. Watery. Maybe better in 40 c than wintertime in North.

Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of rice, yeast, malts, banana, peach, quite fruity. Malty flavour, soy sauce, light hops. Malty finish, vanilla, hint of caramel. Quite nice, clean and refreshing lager.

330ml bottle from Drinker’s Paradise, London. Has an almost artificially sweet, caramel flavour, grassy. Not that bad, but then I can’t imagine drinking a few of these.

330ml bottle at home. Looks very good. Pale gold, good white head. Quite soft carbonation. Aroma is kitchen sink plug-hole after a few days away, and you hadn’t properly cleaned it out first. Dirty vegetal funk. Palate is both watery and too bitter a finish. A bit yuk.
