Brought over from Singapore by my mate who found it in the fridge at work. I don't hold out high hopes, but let's see what we get.
Pours a standard fizzing golden yellow colour. Good clarity in the body, but tons of carbonation. Head is fizzy and frothy to begin with, but surprisingly settled to a rather thick collar of fine white. Lacing is pretty good, falling in sheets down the glass. Actually pretty reasonable.
Nose is rank with adjuncts, corn and rice perhaps give a big DMS cooked veggie character, and the carbonation gives it an acidity that mingles, making it smell like a vegan's puke. Slight sweetness to it as well. It doesn't even have the advantage of at least being relatively mild—all the characters assault the senses immediately. Unpleasant.
Taste at least is a lot milder, although that just makes it bland. Light adjuncty sweetness and a very clean, watery finish. Slight carbonation upswell on the back gives it a acidic kick and stings the palate. It's inoffensive, but so, so bland. It reminds me of Budweiser. That's how bland.
Would I drink this...? You know what? No, not at all. Even in Singapore it's possible to find better beer than this—hell, even the ubiquitous Tiger has more character. Premium just seems to mean flavourless, which idiots equate to "smooth".
