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.

Courtesy of markwise. It pours clear gold with white head. The aroma has a mix of spice and floral hops along with malt graininess. The taste is sweet and grainy malts where those notes are cut somewhat by spicy hop bitterness followed by a bit of floral hops.

Bottle. Golden beer with a whitish head. Light sweet malt and light spice aroma. Spice, orange, and light malt flavor with some earthiness. Medium bodied. Spice, light frutiiness and malt lingers. Different, but interesting fruity flavor - kumquat like.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks for a new country! It’s really gonna help my geostats map. Pours very light gold with a huge frothy white head. Typical light grass and grain aromas. Fresh. Near medium body with not too strong carbonation. It has not got a lot of flavor, but there is grassiness on through the finish. Best for dealing with food.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours with a white head over an extremely pale yellow body. Aroma of grass, sweat, some sugary malts and grain. Taste is bland with plastic, some urine in the middle and a harsh, grassy, bitter finish. Thin. Not great.

Can. A light yellow beer with no head. The aroma is gross with notes of vegetables. The flavor is sweet with notes of cardboard and vegettables, leading to a dry cardboard finish. Thanks yespr for supplying me with a new country.

12 fl oz can, thanks to Dennis for bringing this to Denmark. Pours pale yellow with an immeditely disappearing white head. Mild malty aroma, very weak and slight sweaty. Flavour is vague malty and with a very minor bitterness into the finish.

(Can 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pale golden with tiny impurities and a small, white, dissipating head. Quite sweet malt accents in the aroma. Thin body with a rather low carbonation and sweet notes of malt. Very subdued bitterness - the hops are pretty much absent actually. 171207

Canned. Clear pale yellow, airy head. Fruity artificial raspberry aroma. Sweet and light bodied with some rice syrup. No bitterness. Simplistic lager in the typical Chinese style.
