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 the Rogue Bar, Saigon. Poured a murky orange light amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is piney hops, light citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, malt, piney, dank, light passionfruit mango, light floral, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A little more carbonation would have been nice, but still an awesome DIPA.
