175ml pour on-draught @ the brewpub for 45000 VND.
Fluffy off-white head sticks around for 6-9 minutes. Reddish body is of average vibrance at best. Mulberry seems to have bent the body colour away from the conventional yellow, which would be fine if the body didn't appear so filtered - which robs the appearance of the turbidity at the heart of the style which signals a lively brew.
Disclosure: I don't know what the fuck mulberry smells like. But I do pick up on fruit - sort of a rose hip aroma. Some tartness. Maybe some soft wheat.
Aromatic intensity is average for the style.
Taste is nice. Berry (I lack the pretension necessary to claim I can identify mulberry), soft wheat, clean barley, fruity tartness...and that's about it. A simplistic shallow brew lacking the usual coriander, clove, and/or lemon peel that generally accompany more subtly executed expressions of the style.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, light-bodied, well carbonated, pretty refreshing.
Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.
OVERALL: The ostensible mulberry fails to impart the uniqueness I imagine the brewers were after, but that commitment to local ingredients is nevertheless appreciated, and the vague berry character we're left with is fine. Drinkable and enjoyable, though not a terribly memorable beer if we remove the fact that it happens to be from Vietnam from the equation.
C+ (3.11) / ABOVE AVERAGE
