Pours a bright blond color with no real head building up.

Smells of toffee, sugar and corn.

Has a very light mouthfeel with a well dosed, higher mouthfeel.

Tastes supersweet with lots of rock sugar and sweet wheat with a sparkly metallic note from the carbonation. Tastes watery dull onwards from there, with no taste evolution at all.

Drink as cold as possible.

330ml can poured into a pint glass.

Clear golden color with pretty thick foamy white head that stands with decent retention before sinking to some bubble film atop and leaving plenty of sticky lacing patch along the way.

In a nose, it is grain, floral, some grassy and earthy, sulfur, rather mild and clean overall.

Grain, sweet adjunct, earthy, grassy, some yeasty acidic, clean, nothing much deliver in the taste.

Light body with fizzy carbonation and prickly mouthfeel through the palate, finish is rather dry.

Just for thirst-quenching and the rest is typical adjunct lager.

Clear filtered and golden, lots of fine bubbles rising moderately slow. Topped with 2 fingers of white head with fair retention.

Corn, light fruit, some hay and hops, but really not much going on.

Again, not much punch to it. Some corn, a little malt, minute amount of bitterness. A hint of sweetness, a dash of sour.

Light, foamy, smooth, really goes down easily, easier than water actually.

Found in Vientiane, Laos August 21st, 2015 at a restaurant along the main strip by the Mekong. Amazing smoothness, loving it local, but really not much beyond the smoothness notable about this brew.

Pale and bubbly and smelling of cheap adjuncts (but pretty I offensively so). It tastes watery, ricey, and sweet. Lots of carbonation. Basically cheap beer soda. Meh.

Bottle at a restaurant in Luang Prabang. No ABV on bottle. From notes.

A - Poured bright and light golden with good carbonation and a two finger white thin head that was gone in a minute. No lace or retention.

S - Sweet honey, sweet grain. No adjuncts noticable. Nice subtle hop and bubblegum.

T - All the same pretty much. Lot's more sweet grain and less of the more complex elements. Less hop as well.

M - Good carbonation, medium body, sweet finish.

O/D - An alright lager. Very easy to drink and very different from the harsh adjuncty lagers of the region. Flavour is nice enough, although a little bland. Pretty smooth stuff.
