Singha, Thailand's Lion beer. All the major Thai beers have an animal as a signet; e.g. Chang is the Elephant, Archa is the Horse, Tiger beer is (no surprises) a Tiger. Singha however has an advantage over the other Thai macros in that it is brewed 100% barley malt - which as I will soon taste - makes for a better Lager.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Carlsberg Lager tulip.
A: Presents a clear straw golden body with a white head that fizzles quickly down to a light dusting.
S: The malt is quite evident and upfront in the aroma, along with some faint grassy hops in the background. There is a note of honey sweetness as well. It does have a refreshing fragrance this Lager.
T: Begins with sweet honey and malt, then mid palate expresses a meaty malt base, with a long dry finish. Crisp, refreshing and a tad watery, as are most SE Asian beers, must be the heat or something [sarcasm intended]. There is an odd feeling on the tongue in the after-taste though, some slimy film coats the taste buds, weird huh?
M: Mid to light body, some slight wateriness with some sharp carbonation (a common Lager characteristic).
D: Apart from that after-taste this is one hard to fault Lager. It does have a bit less yeast and hops than a European Lager, which I personally prefer, but it's a bit of a subjective area when it comes to which beer suits which drinker. The price is right Larry, at around $13 to $16 per 6-pack depending where you get it. Overall a thirst slaking brew of affable character.
Food match: Thai, Vietnamese and Malaysian are sure-fire picks. Aside from that BBQ fare is also a great match. One could even see this brew working quite well with sushi.

Clear pouring with some light steady carbonation. Typical adjunct aroma that is mildly pleasing. Soapy lacing and not much head. Aroma is grainy with a hint of lightly caramelized malts. It tastes like a cross between Carlsberg and anything premium from Indonesia. It is refreshing, easy drinking, and compliments many foods.

Aroma was of sweet grains, light hops and some fruit hints.
taste was mild sweetness, grains and mild fruit hints.
The feel was crisp with medium carbonation and a light to medium body.

11.2 ounce bottle into a pilsner glass. Had 1/9/24.
Pours a clear, pale yellow, with a two and a half inch spongy foam head on an average pour with good retention and a good amount of foamy lacing. Active carbonation. Aromas of yeast and malt. Smells herbal and a little spicy. Flavors of malt and light yeast. Tastes herbal. Smooth, a bit thin and watery, well carbonated.
Good aroma, the flavor drops off a bit from the nose. Not too bad, overall.

Really pleasant stuff, and this is after an extensive period in my cellar. Will definitely try again if found fresh. Super drinkable, well-balanced, and I'm a sucker for the particular hop combo. While there's not a single thing offensive here, there's also nothing remarkable. Just good beer.

Singha pours a bright golden-pale color with a small but long-lasting head. The aroma is bright and grainy. The flavor is bright cereals, a little sweet: fizzy feel, but nice flavors. Overall, it is a pale lager with noticeable flavors and bland but enjoyable.

Just a really light clean tasting lager .. no off flavors but not a lot going on either , it’s a easy drinking hot weather beer .
At the price we pay in America I wouldn’t buy again but if it was cheap I would .
