Can straight from Yangon, thanks very much Marie! Thin, loose, irregular, snow white head dissipating quickly but leaving a thin rim around the glass and a wafer thin, disparate veil on the surface. Pure golden blonde, cristal clear robe with only a few minute bubbles here and there. Not very inviting aroma of sourish grains, retted flax, smelly socks, wet cardboard, damp and dirty washcloth, soaked bread, fermenting grass. Neutral onset, very minerally with tingling carbo but not as much as in most industrial pale lagers resulting in a rather flat and watery mouthfeel; a very vague malty, bready sweetness comes up but not the expected rice sweetness, while a grainy sourishness prevails. The unmistakable metallic ’zing’ is there and apart from a faint grassy hoppiness briefly noticeable somewhere at the back and feeling a tad chemical, there is no bitterness worth mentioning; grainy sourishness continues, while the vague bready sweetishness remains in the end. Below average even for a tropical lager, very neutral, very watery and a bit offensive even in the nose, but served cold, I can imagine this being acceptable in the oriental sun as a thirst quencher. Good for a country tick too...

Bottle shared at a beer station in Mandalay. Dark brown to near black with a medium tan head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, espresso, fudge and light licorice. Flavour is above moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with some alcohol in the palate and moderate carbonation. Fairly decent.

Backlog 2012, Yangon, bottle & tap. Nice hoppy nose, hay, bit sweet. Pale golden colour, clear, minimal head. Medium bitter flavour, light-bodied, fizzy (when draught), soft (when bottled). Surprisingly nice lager, refereshing, not bad at all. Drank it at several places in Birma while visiting the country in 2012. Probably the best beer of the country.

Canned@AIH53. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, rubber, some slight sweetish notes. Flavour is quite similar with some rather dusty, but sweetish notes. Enjoyed snow cold. Probably why it actually feels drinkable.

Thanks Pirjo! Beer country #154. Orange-golden color, small white head, some lace. Light nose has green apple and honey. Light-bodied. Flavor has lots of green apple and some honey. Light grainy notes. Quite usual sweetish fruity industrial lager. Not the worst one I’ve had.

Many thanks for this beer to Erzengel. Pours a golden clear beer. Smells malts, grain. Tastes the same. Boring.

Many thanks to CH-303 for this 640ml bottle at 4.5%. Fresh and smooth beginning. Not too deep but refreshing malty with hints of sourness. The body is very watery, smooth but fresh. Easy to drink but not too deep. Crisp beer, not much grain here, hints of malt on a very watery but round aftertaste. Nearly no bitterness.
