Bottle. Small white head that mostly diminished, fine, small and large sized bubbles, fair lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty and corn. Malt and some hops in the taste. A rather uninviting flavor to this beer. Tingly mouthfeel. Light body. Unimpressive to say the least.

Sep 25, 2008 Had this in a Vietnamese restaurant. Pours a clear and light color. Not too much to the taste, but it was a nice refreshing little beer to drink along with some Vietnamese food. Lightly grassy, with a little bit of hops in there.

Sep 11, 2008 THOUGHTS: Not expecting much from this one and go just that. My father had this beer in Vietnam, so I picked up a bottle for me to rate and him to have. He enjoyed his, but I didn’t really care for mine, except for the palate that made me keep sipping even though it was just an ordinary bland pale lager. I was annoyed at this one not counting for Vietnam. I mean, the Guinness made in Canada is credited to Canada. What’s the deal?
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light to medium yellow with a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was light grain, light to moderate grassy hops, dust, vegetable, and ever so slight skunk. The initial flavor was lightly sweet, acidic and bitter; while the finish was moderately acidic and bitter, and a little sour with an average to short duration. There was grain, sweet malt, then sourness, some grassy hops, some dust and some cardboard. The light body was watery then dry with a kind of soft carbonation although there was a lot of it and a dry and moderate to heavy astringent finish.

Sep 8, 2008 Fostier’s Tien Giang, Binh Duc, Chau Thanh Dist, Tien Gang, Vietnam.
Product of VIETNAM. (Dang it I really wanted to color that country in and not have to drink much more beer from there) Clear light yellow/straw with moderate quickly dissipating rocky white head.
Aroma of pale malts with some grassy hop notes. Continental European pale malt flavor with some spicy earthy hops.
Light body with fizzy mouthfeel.
Finish is dry and slightly bitter. Big carbonic bite – fizzy as f%$k in Maniac’s words.
