330 ml bottle, in France. ABV is 4.9%. Golden colour, low head. Moderate corn and rice aroma, not unpleasant. Flavour has some alcoholic notes despite the moderate ABV, acceptable hops. Better than I feared.

Bottle. Yet another lager. No reason to drink this one before others. Typically Asian watery taste from the rice. Pale yellow. Nice head - medium duration.

Bottle. Creamy white mostly deminishing head. Week to no aroma. Watery taste and very short finish. Not too bad, but not a good beer.

Bottle. Golden-straw color with a thin white head. Aroma of not much - some metallic/adjunct tones. Light sweet malt flavor that’s at least different from many other SE Asian lagers. Too bad it’s not better.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, small bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet malts. Malty flavour with sugarsweetish hints. A bit hoppy finish, and long hoppy (weak though) aftertaste. Quite boring.

A yellow beer with a disappearing white head. Both the aroma and the flavor is sour from the corn used for brewing - and the corn flavor is also very present.

Yellow beer with a thick collapsing white head. Doughy glue aroma with some grassiness, and lightly corny faint taste, like water with Eno salts. Watery body.

Light gold colour. Medium body. A little bit sour and wet. Grainy. Wavers between refreshing, too fizzy, and downright unpleasant.
