Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Lior D. Straw color, white head. Aroma of corn, apples (acetaldehyde). Slightly sweetish flavor with a light sourish hint, with corn, apple, and a faint bitterish note. Light-bodied.

Bottle from Pho Saigon, Ealing. Light yellow, clear, with a big tight white head. Typical lager aroma of creamed corn tinged with citrus. Excruciatingly sweet taste, dripping with corn syrup. But satisfying enough in its own way. Surprisingly flat body. Drinkable enough and serves a purpose.

Bottle from the local Asia shop. Drink it ice cold on warm day on a beach and its okay. Drink it in rainy Germany and its worse than water.

330ml can @ 5.3% ABV. Pours yellow with a small frothy white head. Aroma is corn, sweet malt, faint fruit notes. Taste is sweet, watery and papery. Another insipid pale lager, but at least is is inoffensive.
