Bottle. A- Grains, malt, mild cocoa. A- Dark copper color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Malt, caramel, bread dough. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Didn't think I've have a Laotian beer anytime soon but not bad. Poured ice cold with some egg fried rice, this drank alright, but definitely get a bit off balanced as it warmed. Drinkable.

Bottle from Rangoon in Brooklyn: pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is cheap adjunct laden malts. Taste is sweet, a little grainy. It has that quintessential cheap lager taste.

(Very cheap) bottle from Home & Bargain. Malts in the nose – plus a hint of soy sauce ! Pours a golden yellow with an enthusiastic but transient white head. Good lacing, and fairly highly carbonated. Initial taste is rice before sweet malts kick in. Some strange undertones of washing-up liquid, and a burning sensation at the back of the mouth. Sweet malts in the finish too, but also some hops. It’s basically a standard lager, but better than people are giving it credit. I certainly prefer this to something that looks and tastes like grapefruit juice !

Sample at Mind Cafe, late 2019. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. Light bitterness. Not the greatest ipa ever, more of a pale ale, needs more bitterness.

Bottle. Pours pale gold. Cereal, apricot, little sulfur, floral, something a bit weird in the finish. Not much body. Not the worst country tick I've consumed during my beer ticking.
