33cl can at Gourmet Garden in Hoi An. Pours light golden with a white head. Lightly fruity and malty with a hint of metal. Sweet and lightly malty with a slightly bitter finish. Pretty light, but slightly more bitter than other Vietnamese pale lagers. Drinkable. (2012-05-09)

Bottle at Rex Rooftop Garden, Saigon. Pours light golden with a small white head. Light malty aroma with cooked vegetables and hints of hops and spices. Not a great beer, but pretty nice on the rooftop with a view over Saigon on a Saturday night. (2012-05-12)

Picked up a bottle while in Seta, Japan. Pours out clear light yellow topped with a small white head. Aroma O wow who would have guessed they also have skunks in Vietnam. Some sweetness after the skunk. Tatse is not to bad light corn, sweetness, and not much else going on.

330ml can brought home by my parents (from a world cruise) along with a few other goodies. Poured into a Konig-Pilsner glass on 13th May 2012. Looked like any other lager/pilsner style beer: golden bright, clean and clear with a white head of tight bubbles. No smell and semi-sweet in taste; different to what I expected: easy to drink and just what I needed after cutting the grass and doing some ironing.

Bottle by the pool in Hoi An. Light yellow with a small white head. Aroma of malt and grain with a hint of caramel and cooked vegetables. Sweet and lightly malty. Quite standard South-East Asian pale lager, but a bit more body and taste. Goes down easy in the heat. Hint of bitterness in the finish.

Bottle at a Vietnamese restaurant in the Hague. Clear golden pour with a white head. Aroma of rice and malt. Also very much in the flavour, really missing a hop balance. Pretty bad..
