Lager a deep gold with a nice dense head. The aroma is solid bready malts and noble hops. Light somewhat watery body with a semi-dry finish. The taste is pretty good: crackery light malts, green Perfumey hops and a crisp finish. Color me surprised, no menus, visible signs of brewing or clear idea who is staff or customer I didn’t expect them to serve me a decent Pilsner.

Hazy light bronze with a thin head. The aroma has a rustic, deep fruity, herbal quality with some light spicy hop. Moderate bitterness and a more minerally palate than most Hanoi brewpub beers. One of the fullest bodies for the type as well. Good brew.

Very dark brown with a thick head. The aroma is fruity with a lot of dark sugars. Soft and smooth with a dark fruity accent, rich sugars and light toast. Very stoutlike, in both body and taste.

Draught at the brewpub. Almost black with small but firm head. Lemony licorice aroma. Medium sweet and medium bodied. Dry, somewhat edgy and a bit fruity, tarry and lightly citric. Finishes with canteloupe and tar. Has integrity, but is rather odd.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy deep golden, small head. Vague hay aroma. Medium dry with clean mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied with faint flavour of fruit, caramel and candy. Finishes with low bitterness, but some hay and floral hops are there.
