Leo Beer

Brewed by Boon Rawd Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Bangkok, Thailand

Canned. Golden coloured, airy head. Medium sweet, soft and lightly hoppy with medium bitterness. Not bad for an Asian lager.

(Bottle 63 cl) Dark golden colour - but basically just another Thai-lager. No worse or better. 101103

Bottle 50cl. Poures rich clear gold with a frothy white head that doesn’t last. The aroma is perhaps the best thing about this beer - nutty and malty, more so than a standard asian (or any commercial) lager. The flavour lets it down - watery, with some weak maly hops. The aftertaste is similar, perhaps with a hint of caramel. This isn’t a good beer, though I would choose it over most Asian beers - ie Chang.

(Can) Malty, maize (corn) and fruity aroma. Pale yellow colour, clear and white, small to average size, very slightly lasting head with fair lacing. Malty, fruity and maize (corn) flavour. Lively carbonated, slightly watery and light to medium-bodied palate. 29/12/06

For the new change of Leo beer it’s good enough compare with the price. I think it’s the good choice in mainstream beer in Thailand.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is pale yellow. Aroma and taste are malt and hops with notes of fruit.

My friend brought this back with him from Thailand, just for me. And I say, if it’s called Leo, why is there a leopard on the label, instead of a lion? He says "Leo does start the word leopard." So, don’t call this "Lee-o"...call it "Leh". Perfectly transparent, utterly yellow, slim, soon-gone head. Slightly honeyish, though largely dull aroma...empty, vapid...eh... In the mouth...wet and abysmally insipid. Evenhanded, leaning on the malt side, though possessing no particular heft. Thoroughly thin in body, and faint in flavor...a touch grainy...dull finish. It’s ultimately boring, and bland, but not horrendous. Crap lager from Thailand. Hey, every nation has it’s share.
