30cl draft at the brewpub. Golden with a white head. Lightly fruity aroma with malt and some caramel. Sweet, but well balanced with hints of hops and some bitterness. Fresh and delicious and clearly one of the best Vietnamese beers I have tried. (2012-05-12)

On tap at Mui Ne location. Reddish-amber colour. The aroma is a bit odd, with reddish malt notes and some unusual overripe fruits. Sweet, lightly toasty, with some brown sugar. Light butter is evident in the mouthfeel as much as anything else.

@ Hanoi location. Dark brown. Light head. Butterscotch and toffee aroma. Some butter, quite nutty. Soft and smooth. Tastes pretty Czech, actually. A sample at the Mui Ne location was less impressive, with way too much butter.

Hanoi location. Deep gold. Soft carbonation. Fluffy head. Big rich saazy nose with lots of deep, tangy malts. Hoppy and moderately bitter. Medium bready, slightly doughy malts and a long hoppy finish. A sample at the Mui Ne location wasn’t nearly as hoppy, had butter issues and would have scored much lower.

Draught at HoaViên Brähaus, Hanoi location Very dark brown, small creamy head. Light aroma of roast ymalt and hay. Medium sweet wit hclean mouthfeel. Carefully roasty and soapy with hay and orange coming through later together with black currant. Finishes with cery light bitterness and notes of tobacco and sugar. So Czechish thet even the good soldier Svejk could’ve been fooled.

Draught at HoaViên Brähaus, Hanoi location. Lightly hazy golden, small creamy head. Rather neutral aroma. Medium dry with light bodu and rounded mouthfeel. Despite it’s subdued hop aroma it blasts away into a resiny, really bitter finish. Well made!
