Lhasa Beer

Brewed by Lhasa Brewery (Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Lhasa, Tibet

12oz bottle from Keg and Barrel in Plano good to meet another Ratebeerian working at a great store. Pours golden bubbly with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet and light. Taste is pretty typical for an asian pale lager albeit maybe a tad more tasty.

Bottle, sampled at The Big Pour beerfest in Scottsdale AZ. Clear golden, aroma and flavour of clean grains, clean finish with a low grassy hop note. I’ve had worse, and the lady pouring didn’t ask to stamp our passport (freebie!!!).

Bottle another new country for me. Skunky aroma on the nose. Yellow body with white head. Good bittering and has that lemon zest zip to it. Good lawmower beer as most would say.

Skunky aroma. Looks like a typical macro lager. This is much more agressivley hopped than expected... nice! Overall this is average but better tasting than expected.

12 oz. Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Yellow in color with a small white head. Aroma is of flowers, citrus, light malt and grain. Taste is of light citrus and malt.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks for a new country! It’s really gonna help my geostats map. Pours very light gold with a huge frothy white head. Typical light grass and grain aromas. Fresh. Near medium body with not too strong carbonation. It has not got a lot of flavor, but there is grassiness on through the finish. Best for dealing with food.

Bottle in the VIP tent at WBF Durham. Only reason I bothered was it was a new rate and a new country! Straw yellow pour. Short white head. Aroma is that of light grass, soft corny notes, sweet malt and cereal grains. Taste is sweet malts, grassy hops, light honeyish flavors, cereal grains and light fruit. Body is light to light-medium with a fizzy, prickly carbonation. Ends with more grain, corny sweetness, light biscuit, grass and soft honey. Not too terrible.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Pours a very clear, pale gold with a frothy white head. The head struggles to maintain itself. Spotty lacing left behind. Aroma: Nobel hops, sweet grain, a bit of corn, grass, and a touch of honey. Flavor: Surprisingly bitter on the tongue with some light, sweet malt notes. Also a bit of paper, club soda, and grassiness. Really not that bad. Palate: Medium, even carbonation with a light mouthfeel and a medium-short, slightly bitter finish. Overall: I will be sure to try this again when I stop by Tibet. It really is better than most of the stuff by BMC though.
