330ml bottle from local supermarket, Chiang Mai. Murky yellow body, very ripe banana, banana bread, rice crackers, hints of citrus. Fuller bodied, smooth, and rather carbonated. It feels and tastes like you chewed on a piece of banana for quite some time and then had a sip of lager. Now, why would you want that?

330ml bottle from local supermarket, Chiang Mai. Amber body, medium head quickly diminishing leaving a filmy layer on top. Sweet malt, tropical fruits: mango, pineapple, lychee and grapefruit, some herbal notes. Rather smooth and softly carbonated.

330ml bottle from Big C Market Pantip, Chiangmai. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is toffee, light hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, toffee, woody hop bitter palate. A rather simple beer and not so bad IMO.

It is an average lager, perfect with the wet weather in Ventiane, malty, some hop, well balanced, tasting it during my trip in Laos in 2006, so a really long time ago.

Dorada limpia de espuma blanca, abundante cremosa y de retención media. Buen aspecto. Aroma a cereal, ligeramente floral. En boca es muy ligera, poco carbónica, maltosa y cereal pero menos dulzona que la mayoría de lager asiáticas, y de amargor entre bajo y moderado. Bebible
