Botlle.LCBO Sold as Sinha Lager 4.8%. Slight of-wet cloth aroma, grainy. Nice large pour, white snowy thick top. Clear gold. Thin bodied with light shadow malt character. So thin I can taste the mineral touch of water that was used to brew this lager. Very thin finish. Rice, maybe hint of corn. Hard to believe this is 12 P (beer listed as almost 5 %). Poor choice.

Sinha lager from LCBO gift pack. 330 mL bottle. 4.8%. Copper-orange in colour - lovely colour for a lager - makes you wonder if it’s natural. Vivid white head dissipates almost immediately. I smell corn. Taste is sweet - corn syrup. One dimensional. Flat and thin. Drinkable, but so is water.

330ml bottle. Gold, you know, like you’d expect from a lager. Not much head. Aroma is, well, whatever...and the taste is very sweet. A nice hoppiness is hiding in there in the back, and if it was a bit more upfront this would be a much more interesting beer in the style. Otherwise it’s pretty watery and bland.

Bottle (330ml). From LCBO, as "Sinha Lager" in 2006 Sinha gift box. Clear pale gold, large foamy white head. Dry vegetal grain aroma, kind of dead - sweet and okay, maybe a little mild hops. Taste is pretty bland - grain, honey, hint of cardboard, no hop character at all, maybe a touch of roadside weeds. Watery bland body, lightly syrupy and flat mouthfeel, mercifully quick finish and at least there’s no aftertaste. To expectations; sweet.

Light blond color and thin body. Little hops, but more malt flavor than some pale lagers.

Bottled. Light golden coluored. Clear. Dense white head. Grassy, sweet and light fruity aroma and flavour. Quite bland beer. Light bodied. No bitterness at all. Ends on a sweet fruity note.

Thin white head on a golden body. Good beer for hot days. Otherwise uneventful.
