In a world a world that's full of change, it's good to know that Lucky Beer offers something consistently good natured. Although the distinctive laughing Buddha bottle is central to our brand, Lucky Beer - and the good fortune it shares - transcends all religions, cultural boundaries and beliefs.
In its simplest form, we stand for goodwill for all humanity.
"If you think that enlightenment is separate from the drinking of beer you have not yet understood" Ancient Taoist Saying.
The "Laughing Buddha" depicted on Lucky Buddha beer is actually not THE Buddha and therefore not religious but cultural. He is incorporated in Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto traditions. The term buddha means "one who is awake", connoting one who has awakened into enlightenment.

Bottle: Clear gold with a sudsy white head. Scent is initial skunk from the Buddha-shaped green bottle...... Grain and honey malt. Cornflake/grain malt and water taste. Fairly typical tasting, cheap, foreign lager...... Drinkable, but not a standout..... Now, is this a China or an Australian rating? Very cool bottle......

Bottle. A- Grainy, cereal, citrusy. A- Pale color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Slight sweetness and citrus tones. Very mild and watery. P- Light body, thin texture, average carbonation, refreshing and smooth finish. O- Like a Chinese Bud Light, only better. The bottle may be the best part but still not a bad beer.

A lightly hazed blonde lager with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, chalky oxidized malt. In mouth, a light watery oxidized malt, sweet. Nice bottle. That’s it!

Pours pale yellow with decent white head. High carbonation. Aromas of classic lager, something vegetal, light malt, some honey. Light body, short finish. No discernable bitterness. Nice gimmicky bottle, containing OK lager.

Przerost formy nad trescia. Jedyny chyma plus to nietypowy kszalt butelki, jak posag buddy. Chinska produkcja ale dziwi fakt ze klasyfikowane jako Australia. Minus i to wielki za brak informacji. Malo opisu wyjasniajacego ten fakt na etykiecie. Smak typowo lagerowy. Zwykly. Piana nietrwala. Buteleczke mozna zachowac sobie do kolekcji.

Bouteille verte 330ml. De couleur dorée-jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes maïs sucré, de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) ainsi qu’avec des traces de mouffette. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture légèrement aqueuse et aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle assez sucrés dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de maïs avec des traces de pain et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé). Post-goût moyen-court, aux notes amères de houblon herbeux avec des notes de grains.

Bottle @ The Coulard Bar, Lossiemouth [060413]
Golden, clear, thin white head
Aroma - soft skunk, slight earthy aroma, light corn malt, hint of cereal
Taste - light sweet pale cereal malts, cereal, little going on but it isn’t too bad tbh
Palate - Medium to high carb, sweet pale malt palate. Finish is clean, soft sweet linger
Overall - Slightly better than the usual rubbishy macro lager - slightly sweeter
