From backlog! Bottle, shared with, among others, Bergstaden. Golden with white head. Malts, hops, yeast, sweetness, boring.

33 cl sturdy green bottle, served in a Teku glass. A dark golden to light amber slightly hazy pour with an off-white head. Little retention. Aroma is sweet malt, cookies, porridge and -interestingly- a hint of chili peppers. Quite sweet onset; medium to low body, lacking enough acidity (but nothing clumsy nor terrible.) Not too bitter nor too long. Bland, but drinkable.

355ml bottle as Via Saigon Export procured at Lidl for the princely sum of 99p. I opted to serve this cold and straight out of the bottle. I would imagine it yellow/gold/amber with a white head. The aroma is rather sweet, sugary, rich tea biscuit, grain and bread & butter pudding. The taste is crispy dry, snappy, pretty sweet, sugary, grainy, biscuit, grass, straw and dull herbal accents with a dry finish. Average body and average, prickly carbonation. Absolutely ok. Perhaps a bit sweet, but drinks fine when cold. I've had a lot worse.

Green bottle, many thanks Gregor! Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is light, dog food, earthy. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. The light flavours are oof, but what do you expect...

330ml can from a Saigon Circle K. Poured a crystal clear yellow golden colour with a very short-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is bready malt. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, watery, malt, super light woody hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Just as well that this only cost 60 Euro cents as most of it went down the drain, but having said that I still feel as though I’ve been ripped off!
