65000 VND for a pour @ B3 Steakhouse in Ho Chi Minh City.

5.40% ABV.

Amber malt. Rye, I think? Toastiness. No real hop character, no noticeable alcohol. Balanced albeit simple.

Maybe a kiss of chocolate malt?

Texture is smooth, wet, medium-bodied, well-carbonated, and of average heft.

Overall, it's slightly bitter in terms of imbalance. Not my favourite, but it's decent in terms of Vietnamese beers.

C+ (3.17) / ABOVE AVERAGE

07/16/16. Gave her a second spin for 50000 VND on-draught @ Tres Ninos.

Easily Phat Rooster's best effort. Malts are the star here, and this packs plenty of sweetness. Makes a good medium-bodied beer for pairing with food, but it's not a stellar brew by any means. Phat Rooster is still a very green, developing brewery, but I'm glad they're putting out beers like this.
