330ml can into glass. ’Made in Vietnam from local and imported ingredients’! Aroma of cardboard and stale malt. Crystal clear amber beer with two finger white head that laces. Light carbonation. Tastes like tinny flat water. Finish is two-day-old bubblegum wrapped in tinfoil. The horror! The horror! Avoid at all costs.

Bottle, up in the mountains, watching the pademelons eat dinner. The aroma is quite fruity - classic caramel and fruity yeast English beer. Caramel and quite fruity on the palate, bit sticky in the finish with a hit of bitterness.

Deep golden. Bubbly head. Sweetish and a touch of biscuity malts. Clean, simple malty taste with relatively low bitterness.

375ml bottle into schooner glass. ABV is 2.7%. Peppery hop nose, clear amber beer with small fluffy white head. Medium carbonation. Mineral water mouthfeel and taste. Finish is a touch sour with some lasting bitterness. Typical light beer wateriness unfortunately.
