12 ounce bottle courtesy of Butters at the 14th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 3/19/11. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a medium creamy white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of grain, corn, mushrooms and a musty note. The taste is grant, peach-like fruit notes and some dusty, musty notes. Thin-medium bodied. Weird beer.

12oz bottle shared by ArgoO. Hazy yellow-orange. Mellow cream corn, sweet. No real hop presence. Thin, oily head. Sessionable, but not even close to World Class. One dimensional.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear orange golden with a medium creamy white head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sweet corn malt and cereal. Medium mouthfeel and a bit watery with a corn malt and cereal flavor. Not too much with this pale lager from Carlsberg.

Bottle: Poured a light yellow color lager with a small pure white bubbly head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of light crisp hops is quite subtle with lightly sweet malt notes. Taste somewhat bland with light notes of Saaz hops and a lightly sweet malt backbone. Carbonation is too low for style and this is too boring to be a regular beer around my place.

12 ounce bottle. Clear golden color, small white head. Taste like every other developing world lager. Carlsberg has done Tibet no favors.

Pour is a pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is pale malts and nothing else. Flavor is corn with some dry malt and stale hops. Maybe its the water but this did taste softer then most pale lagers.

Bottle from the Co-op in Davis, CA. Pours a lightly hazy gold with a foamy white head. Sort of a lightly sweet odor with not much hop. Near medium body with mild carbonation. It’s clean. It has a smidge of grassy bitter. It’s harmless. Damning with faint praise.

This one was a bit of a surprise. I was expecting Lhasa to be your average crappy lager, but it’s actually pretty good. It seems like an entirely decent pilsner. It pours your standard very pale yellow, but it has a nice rocky, white head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is rather hoppy - all Saaz grassy bite - with some light yeast and pale malt aromas. There’s a very mild vegetal note, but nothing too bad. Happily, the flavor is quite dry and ends with some good grass hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth, light and well-carbonated. There’s even a bit of hop oiliness. A very refreshing beer and a big step up from most popular pale lagers.
