Tap from Bia Hoi keg in Hanoi. Good color, must be cold. Nice little aftertaste which adds som complexity not often found in SE Asian beer.

From a jar at Bia Hoi Ha Noi Chi Tý, Saigon. So glad the kind lady here let me try a glass of this Vietnam tradition. So much better than Bia Hanoi - it's perfect for the sweaty hot weather of the country. Corny grain aroma. Clear light colour. Apple taste. Watery, if a little queasy ending.

Pale with thin bubbly head. Light acetaldehyde aroma. Watery but relatively clearn with a vaguely malty signature. Low bitterness. A better rounded bia hoi.

Very pale. Light head. The aroma is grainy, lightly fruity. Watery, swilly, grainy taste. Pretty weak. Befits its price.

Draugh@street restaurant in Hanoi Old Quarter. Pale yellow color, creamy off-white head. Light malty, lemony hoppy aroma. Watery palate. Corn malty sweetish flavor, but has lots of more craft beer feeling than bottle VN beers. Aftertaste has light grassy hops with sweetcorn.

Draught at Nhà Hàng Lan Chín, 156 Trân Quang Khai, Hanoi. Clear pale golden, small creamy head. Vague salty ashy nose. Medium sweet and light bodied. Some vague stale resiny hoppiness, drier ashy finish. Low carbonation. Quaffable, but a bit edgy.

Draught at nameless Bio Hoi joint in Hanoi. Clear pale golden, small fairly briefhead. Lightly grassy bready aroma. Medium sweet and light bodied. Low on cabonation. fairly soft and crisp. Some grassy hops leads to a light bitterness. Freshening and alive. A completely different story than canned or bottled Hanoi beer. Very quaffable.
