Description
Lhasa Beer is a super premium quality all-natural, all-malt lager beer made with the world's finest ingredients including Himalayan Spring Water, Saaz hops, yeast, and a maximum possible quantity of Tibetan barley. The native Tibetan barley, unlike most barley varieties in the world, has no hull. Thus it adds to the beer's body and gives it an extra dimension of flavor while eliminating some of the undesirable astringency that can come from the grain hulls.

Sampled at Tim's place, huge thanks! Clear pale golden color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, dusty hayish, very distant cardboard bitterness. Low body and carbonation.

Tried this at a restaurant in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture sitting opposite some monks from the local monastery. Of course the beer is nothing to write home about, but beggars can’t be choosers in these parts.
