Bottle. Very light corn/rice malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Very light flavor - just a hint of rice malt but with a strange fruity aftertaste (? litchee). Highly carbonated. Really not that much different from most US light beers - some widespread marketing in the US and you could have the biggest import since Corona.

Bottle. Clear, pale golden, with a dense, white head. Hops, a little fruityness and some grain in the aroma. The flavor is weak, sweetish and malty, but lacks bitterness. Thin body. A boring beer, there’s nothing technically wrong, it’s just boring. (070914)

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grains, alcohol and some hints of malts and hops. Flavour is very clean of malts, hops and some slight notes of rice. Also has some slight hoppy bitter notes. A slight sting of alcohol also found in the flavour. Positive surprise from this beer.

Land #49 Sehr aromenreich ist es nicht, das Lager aus Laos. Etwas hopfig-süß im Antrunk und Mittelteil, dazu würzig. Im Nachgeschmack etwas herb, das Bier ist recht süffig, die geht aber bei diesem Gebräu nur mit Aromeneinbußen, schade. Trinkbar, süffig, aber nicht kräftig, so wie die meisten Exoten. Test vom 28.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,7,5,7,6 - 6,80
