Our first day in Siem Reap, and this stuff is pretty much everywhere. Including the restaurant our tour guide took us to for lunch. In any event...

The beer pours a golden amber color with a frothy white head that quickly subsides. Still, this beer really doesn't look half bad. On the nose, I get canned corn and a bit of grain, and really not much else. Even for an AAL, this is a pretty unimpressive aroma profile. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely in this lightweight AAL. There's some light sweet corn in the flavor profile, and that's about it. What flavor there is dissipates pretty quickly, and the finish is short, bland and lightly bitter. Mouthfeel is fairly light, with the alcohol all but undetectable. Drinkability is good I guess, if your idea of beer drinking involves uncritical quaffing of a cold beverage while out mowing the lawn.

It gets pretty warm in this part of the world, so I guess a beer as lame and insipid as this is somewhat understandable and even to be expected. As others have pointed out, it's inoffensive, which is probably the best you can say about it. That being said, next time I'm offered a beer at lunch or dinner, I'll opt for a diet coke or water instead.

6 pack from Fubonn Market (PDX). Was not as bad as I thought it would be. Bright, clear golden pour, big fluffy head. Smell and taste are grains, corn and only slight traces of vegetal notes. Feel is actually kind of creamy. Not too sweet either. First Cambodia tick.

Shared 330 ml can, kindly brought home from Cambodia by my cousin. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Minimal aroma. Watery mouthfeel. The flavour is quite dry and rather bland as expected, with a hint of hops in the finish.

When your in Cambodia, it's decent and an easy go-to, rather than paying the premium for imported beers. Ignore the bad reviews when your at a bar, though I can't speak about it's quality outside.

12 oz slim can traded from brutal farce poured into 16 oz Budweiser pint glass.

Clear golden amber color with a fluffy white head of 2 fingers. It gradually diminishes to a sliver, no lacing.

Aroma is husky and grainy, slight sweet apple fruit, almost cider-y. Faint maize.

Flavor is crisp and clean with a nice rice/plant/barley flavor. Not much for lingering flavor except a slight champagne dryness and lingering pear and apple fruits. Corn creaminess as well.

Feel is crisp and clean with only mild starches on the finish. Very good carbonation.

Overall, a poor rating is not warranted, simply because a lager is not going to give the flavors that other more eccentric styles will. This is a cut and dry enjoyable, quenchable, by-the-book lager that stands with the rest. Fear not, take the dive, you won't lose beer karma if you drink it.

Pours a very pale gold with no head and very aggressive bubbles

Smells very grainy, of Cheerios

Taste was more interesting, light cracker with some floral notes and tart apple

Very dry, overly carbonated

Poured into a small pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a half finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of grainy malt, lemon and grassy hops. Flavor is mild grainy, slightly sweet malt, grassy hops, thinning out and getting astringent in the finish. Light to medium bodied with sharp carbonation. On the grainy side of the adjunct lager spectrum, but the malt pretty much dies out half way through the taste, leaving the somewhat astringent (possibly just old) hops stark on the tongue. The neutral malt sweetness that usually make this style inoffensive is not present here, this just tastes like a watered down lager. I liked their stout and decided to give this a shot, but although I might welcome this on a hot Cambodian afternoon, it's not worth revisiting outside its country of origin. Drinkable, but mediocre.

Angkor has a thick, white head, a clear, golden, bubbly appearance, with splotchy glass lacing. The aroma is of fairly rich, honeyed malt and bread crust. Taste is similar, with rounding hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Angkor finishes crisp and refreshing.
