A Mes rate: Bottle in a church.
Ok it’s a converted church that is now a venue. The church was amazing. The beer wasn’t. Metallic coated cardboard box with a bit of the cereal still left in aaaaaaand... yeah I’m done.

I’ve had this beer a couple of times and, to it’s credit, I’ve had the same experience each time. For me, the aroma is the worst part. It doesn’t smell right. A little burnt bitterness. Just a weak, musty stale smell. The pour is weak but it actually forms nicely at the end. This beer is pretty consistent from first sip to final sip. I find it works well with steaks and mexican food, actually. A decent option.

Very heavy and dry beer, tastes good would like to have it with some food next time, would buy again!

from a 32 ounce can, poured clear with a fair amunt of head. Not much flavor with a lingering finsh.

Dinner with Heidi Kim on Feb 12, 2008 in the Acko Lounge Sushi Bar. Imported brown bottle with silver label. Nothing special about this, just another pale lager from Asia. Went well with my sushi so I won’t complain too much, slight better than most pale lager available here but it just didn’t stand out.

Pours a clear pale yellow with a brief head and an awful stale lager smell - why did I order this? Taste delivers exactly what the aroma promises: crappy lager. Overcarbonated. If I had been at home it would have been a drain-pour, but as it was I was eating sushi and was thirsty. Never again.

Pours out of the can a clear golden color with a thick and lively head. Aroma is light of corn and hops. Well I’ll give them one thing, it sure does finish dry. Pretty clean little beer all in all. Taste is crisp and heavily carbonated. Not too bad I guess.

Served at Azuma in Houston. Bottle poured into a tall flute glass. Big white head, golden in color with no apparent smell. Taste rice, corn, with a dry aftertaste. It is what it is.
