Phuket Lager Beer

Bottle, MFG date 25/12/08, best before 25/12/09. Poured a lighter shade golden with a fizzy white head that settled out quick. Skunky aromas with vegetables and grain. The flavor found grain and hints of lemon. Light body and dry.

Poured a clear golden yellow color with a thin white head. Typical aroma of a pale lager in a green bottle that has traveled around the world. Corn and light skunk. Initial sweetness turns thin and watery. Mild bitterness on the finish.

Golden with a small white head. Grainy malt aroma with a tiny touch of hops. Sweet caramel flavour.

Bottle at Chris-Os Pre GBBF tasting 2009 ... yellow ... light hop nose ... light malt ... grassy grassy .crap.

Bottle at the legend of chriso’d pre GBBF09 tasting. Alround rating: Cardboard, sweet lager malts, herbal hop exstract. Boring stuff.

A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Bland pale lager with lots of grain and sickly sweet malt. Distinct lack of win.

A lot less fun than the island from which it takes its name. Pale gold with a dim head. Husky aroma with some odd notes - violets, rainwater and Seltzer. Fizzy palate. Oversweet honey malts dominate before an unpleasantly astringent hop buzz. Has a medicinal fruitiness, like cough syrup. Cardboardy malts. Overall, very poor and hard to finish. (330ml bottle from Randwick Cellars. BB 17/4/09)

Had from the bottle into a pint glass at a restaurant. A surprise from a green bottle for sure... Not too shabby! No skunk, nice sweetness, and a somewhat corny fade. Nice drinkable lager.
