Bottle. Clear yellow. Small bubble laden foam head. Nose is seemingly bland - light corny notes, light maltiness, and some light wafts of grain as well. Taste is more grainy flavors and lighter corn syrup and even some light fruit notes. Essentially a standard "tropical" lager. Body is light and moderately carbonated. Finish is much the same as the taste - corny and grainy with hints of fruit (citrus). Light bitterness coming through here as well. Not horrible. Would be a nice "lawnmower" beer.

very slightly sweet, dry finish, with that classic "crappy SE-asian lager" character. no offense, but this one is relegated to times when you just need a cold beer after a long day in the hot sun.

shaker / primarily bready, eggy, and musty with artificial-like/artificial flavor and aroma. dead straw body with little white head--at least there’s rings around the glass for lace. each gulp is satisfying with my bacon and seasoned egg omellete!

From a 625 ml bottle. Pours a deep gold with a thin white head. Strong vegetable aroma with some carrots and celery. Hints of grass. The taste is a slightly spicy bread and some apple core. Hints of celery. This is decent.

Bottled. An orange/gold coloured lager which pours with no head. The aroma is on the malty side with some grassy notes. The taste is quite clean with sweet malty notes. A bit German in character IMO and reasonably drinkable. good within style.

Clear golden apple juice body with a small white head. Stale wet cardboard aroma. Sweet faint flavor. Almost nothing going on flavor-wise. The body is very much like that of spring water. No awful but just not much going on.

Creamy foam of good persistence and enough adherent. Yellow color gold, shining and much effervescent. Indeed a good aspect. The lightest and hardly perceivable scent. Difficult to perceive particular aromas. Fresh and light taste; good bitter and duration. Effective.
