Pale lemon yellow with a few persistent streams of uprushing bubbles. The large, fluffy head is a shade darker than brilliant white and isn't falling very fast due to the carbonation feeding its underside. There's almost no lace. In fact, there's so little that it doesn't deserve all four letters. Let's call it lac.

The nose is nothing to write home about. I shudder to think what it might have smelled like without the brown glass bottle. Singha smells like just about every other macro lager that I've ever run across. Musty hops lead the way and nothing else is interested enough to follow.

The flavor is a slight improvement. I prefer beer of this style to be a little on the sweet side since the residual sugar helps to cover up the nastiness and tends to fill out the body. This one has a bit of a sweetened Rice Crispies flavor which is offset by a sharp, hop leaf bitterness. It's far from good beer, but at least there's something there to keep the ol' taste buds busy.

Singha has a touch more flavor and, therefore, a little more personality than many macro lagers. It's still incredibly mediocre beer. If I ever find myself in Bangkok, I might 'go native' and toss back a few cold ones. Absent that, no thanks.

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.

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 .
