Bottle consumed on 8/12/06.
Weak, goldenrod diluted in water, with a fizzy head that quickly runs to the edge. Extremely filtered clarity, no lacing, bubbles settle out of the liquid rather quickly.
Cheap pencil/crayon nose, compound flaws exhibited, with a clear lack of proper or even bare minimum lagering times. Husky, slightly sharp, rice-like finish. Extremely stale and pasteurized. No hops, no alcohol.
The flavor has a slight rancidity to it, and almost a dry, bland, papery flavor as well, with some green apple, metallic notes and spoiled cider notes on the finish. Of course, all of this is diluted down to being minimally noticeable, but it’s certainly still there. The usual case where the "lite" version of the regular beer displays fewer problems, generally due to less ingredients being used and a much higher water/everything-else-ratio, does not seem to be the case here, as this is not your typical neutral, carbonic, lightly sweet seltzer water sort of light beer. Or if this is still the case, then San Mig regular must be god-awful. Fizzy mouthfeel, watery, loose, stale, pasteurized, filtered, no hop notes, no alcohol.

Bottle. Yeast, with some hops. Nothing special at all, and tastes pretty much just like a regular, typical beer that I’ve had. Oh well.

I did not have overly high expectations for this one. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with reddish highlights and a large tan head. The aroma is roasty malts and molasses. The flavor is roasty with sweet molasses and brown sugar. A bit thin and watery on the mouthfeel. Not terrible.

Didn’t much care for this one. Tasted a bit dry and grainy, a little hops, and a kind of watery. Nothing much here...

Bottle. Strong molasses malt aroma. Dark brown color with tiny head. Slightly sweet molasses/raisin malt flavor. Moderate acidity and carbonation. Dramatically better than the pale lager.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, almost no head. Extremely skunked hops in aroma, almost like living in a barnyard. Flavour is a bit skunked and unclean malts. Stay away. Not sure if I should say a thank you to Tbone_ who brought this beer from Singapore and shared it with me...

Golden color, not much head. Skunky hoppy head. Flavor is less exciting: carbonated, malty and more or less flavorless. As "good" as light beers usually.

Pale yellow color, decent white head. Skunky hoppy aroma. Light bodied, some faint barnyardish hoppy flavor. Really awful and this even wasn’t very old bottle.
