Lhasa Beer

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

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.

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 from Whole Foods. Pours with a white head over an extremely pale yellow body. Aroma of grass, sweat, some sugary malts and grain. Taste is bland with plastic, some urine in the middle and a harsh, grassy, bitter finish. Thin. Not great.

12 ounce from bottleworks. pours pale gold and crystal clear with a frothy white head that doesn’t stick around. harsh dry fusel and vegetal nose. fizzy watery body. acetic mid palate of vegetal and cardboard notes. dry adjunct finish. gorgeous label, nasty beer.

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!!!).

A piss yellow beer with a fizzy snow white head. Grain and a bit of hop in the aroma with a weak hint of cheese. Thin fizzy flavor, some hop and grain and a slightly metallic edge. Drikable and forgetable. Thanks yespr for new country!

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.
