330mL can, pours a clear piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and light corn. Flavour is lightly sweet, with corn, straw and lightly sweet cereal malt. Clean and drinkable, but it's a typical industrial pale lager - how good can it be.

Bottle at Vientiane Social, pours a clear piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty much nonexistent, with light straw and rice. Flavour is the same: pretty much nonexistent. At least it's inoffensive and quenches the thirst. Standard pale lager.

Bottle at Tyson Kitchen, pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light toasted nuts and some dark caramel bready malt. Flavour is clean enough, with toasted nuts, some caramel bready malt and a little toffe. Toasty and lightly sweet. Actually not all that bad.

Can at Tyson Kitchen, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings crisp straw and light rice. Flavour is clean enough, with crisp biscuity malt and straw. Lightly sweet and crisp. Easy to drink but of course it's a pale lager.

Bottle from Jeremy, thank you. Brown pour with a small tan head. Sweet aroma of malts and corn syrup. Taste is overly sweet. Toasted malts and more sweetness.

Bottle from Jeremy. Dark amber, fizzy head. Aroma is cheap cola, kind of stanky. Taste gets worse, dry and chalky. Sour, cardboard.. pretty nasty.

Medium light golden color. Sweet malty nose with noble hops and adjuncts. Mouth is medium body, somewhat dry and low to medium bitterness. Fairly clean and refreshing. Decent for what it is.
