Description
Mekong Brewing Company is a nano Brewery in Saigon, Vietnam. We specialize in Ales made with Belgian malt and hops from the Pacific Northwest.

Mekong Brewing Company was founded by Robert Stevenson when he decided to begin homebrewing after moving to Saigon, Vietnam. Since then, he perfected the recipe to allow complex flavors and aromas to come together and create Blue Elephant IPA. This would be Mekong Brewery's first, but not the last, craft beer in Vietnam.

330ml can at New Gentry Beerhouse, Hanoi. Poured a murky dark orange amber, with a big, short-lived, fizzy off-white head. The aroma is saison yeast and honey. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, herbal, earthy, sweet sugary honey palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. More like a mead than a saison.
