Bottle, 4.9%, received from faroeviking, shared with ozujsko. An impressive amount of E’s on this one’s label. And not the "common" ones, like ascorbic or citric acid. No, they used sodium metabisulfite, sodium erythobate, lactic acid and calcium chloride (why?). And that, in addition to the fact that it’s my first vietnamese beer is pretty much the last interesting thing about this beer. Poured a golden colour with a medium to big sized white head that went away fast.The nose is dominated by dust, with a bit of malt showing through. The taste is weak, sweetish, with notes of sour apple. Extremely weak bitterness. No aftertaste, not offensive, not good.

Bottle. Pale yellow color with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt with notes of citrus. Refreshing, but not very good. Over carbonated.

Bottle: Poured a bright golden yellow color lager with a big bubbly white head with minimal retention. Aroma of malt is a bit weak with no hops presence easily detectable. Taste of sweet malt is bland but in no way gross. At least it did not skunked while travelling 3000 miles to get to my place.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a handsome, rich, white head with good retention. A light tartness in the aroma. Medium body dominated by brewing cereal (the label states rice) and an underlying tartness. No bitterness to speak of. 150806

Bottle, 4.9%. Rough, metallic aroma, not nice. Golden colour, stable white head. The flavour has the acidity of a green apple and is quite watery. Rough bitterness. Leaves a rubbery feeling on my tongue.
