Bottled. A golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of cardboard, malt, and straw. The flavor is cardboard, straw, and brewing cereal, leading to a metallic finish.

Can from a Kuala Lumpur night shop. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a short lived frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is yeast, dry stale malt. The flavour is light bitter sweet with a light watery malt mineral aspirin hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. The initial bubbles were very short lived.

Found at Ngiuchee department store, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. We didn’t find this one in Vietnam at all, but it’s made there. San Mig has ample distribution in KK because of the city’s large Filipino community, although I’m not sure about this beer’s relationship to the Filipino beer scene specifically. In any event, the lager has a decent straw colour with small bubbles and a little bit of head. Light aroma - am I smelling char kuay teow? Ok, that’s just wrong. I think it’s more like a little bit of phenol getting in the way of vague graininess. The taste is kind of corny, and it has some corn sweetness too. There is definitely a hint of smokey phenol, but not in any sort of manifestation that could be construed as pleasurable (and that includes char kuay teow). The finish is dry, a bit fizzy and with a mineral water sort of accent. In all, it’s drinkable as a swill, but certainly not pleasurable. It’s just another random swill that doesn’t appear to serve any particular purpose on the market.

On tap at Nghia Bia Hoi, Nha Trang. Dull gold colour. No real head. Sour, appley bia hoi aroma. Watery, but relatively full and clean for a bia hoi. Geez, did they actually put malt in this? Wow. Finishes respectable. Not the finest beer, for for 4000 dong it is incredibly good value.
