Phuket Lager Beer

Brewed by San Miguel Thailand
Style: Pale Lager
Banmai, Mueang, Pathum Thani Province, Thailand

A standard pale lager, perhaps a bit more bitter than the rest. Yellow colour. White head. Could not find any notes of malt.

what an inviting little beer, just look at the bottle you feel like your on the island of phuket, patong beach crawling with whores. thin corn feel with a small ending bitterness, metallic and bubbly on the palate.

This has been around in my area for a while, but I resisted testing it until I could do a single bottle purchase. Why?

THE EXPECTATION: Diesel fuel with corn syrup overtones, resulting in severe heartburn.
THE PREPARATIONS: I spilled twice whilst trying to carry the glass of this fluid out the door, juggling recyclables under the other arm.
THE REALITY: I wiped up both spills. Then - I threw said recyclables out the door, then picked up the beer and strolled outside with a smug expression defining my countenance.
THE RESPONSIBILITY: I put the oft referred to recyclables in the appropriate recycle bins for pick-up on the morrow.
THE REALITY: Just another fizzy yellow brew, comparable to the BMCs.
THE TWILIGHT DANCE: The rosebush that my Ex had planted wilted after my having poured out the remaining half of this ubiquitious lager.

And that’s why I didn’t buy a sixer for $7.99.

Bottle. I spent an entire day traveling around Phuket, Thailand in September 2002 and nearby cities looking for this beer only to find it three years later in San Francisco, CA. A skunk aroma, golden color with a laced white head. A straw flavor with a musty basement finish.

Very bland lager beer. They told me it’s special because there isn’t any formaldehyde in it. Apparently this country usually puts formaldehyde in their beer to preserve it???

Actually a very nice pilsner. Reminds me of a Pilsner Urquel, just a little less hoppy. Crystal clear beer. Didn’t have a glass so I can’t comment on the head.

White head on an ordinary yellow body. Just another typical thirst-quenching beer for hot countries. Nothing remarkable. Drinkable, probably refreshing in Thailand, but nothing more.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cereal), lightly hoppy (herbs), with a note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish lightly sweet, lightly bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A grainy, sweet lager.
