Phuket Lager Beer

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

05/05 bottle. Clear pale gold with a small, white, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is poor: Malty with a trace of husky toasted grain; trace of herbal hop; Heavy wiff of DMS, moderate skunk. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic with a long, moderately bitter, moderately acidic, lightly sweet finish. Husky, metallic aftertaste. Light bodied, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Pour is a very pale yellow, this is almost as pale as bud light. Aroma is of course skunk. Flavor is almost tasteless with just a wee bit of grain in there. Other than that this is a waste of time,

Habersham Beverage Warehouse, Savannah, Ga. 11.2 oz bottle. Light golden pour, little to no head. Faint, industrial, metallic aroma, not much else. Some honey sweetness finds its way into the flavor, a bit of cake maix sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel, slightly crisp. Overall surprised, better than expected.

Fizzy champaign appearance has a thin wispy white head. Lightly sweet aroma has a mild Saaz hoppy balance. Body starts with mild adjunct maize and malty sweetness with some drier earthy hoppy bitterness. Pretty bland, but drinkable.

Bottle. Yet another mainstream lager. This one is maybe a tad more malty than average. Light in taste as well.

a funky phosphoric aroma ascends the minute you open it. unpleasant bitterness, poorly balance foam (clean glass). bad filtration, brewer’s dust (too obvious). San Miguel do something quick.

12 oz bottle from Beer World of Largo <P> Aroma is sharp and grassy with a noticeable skunkiness. Bright gold in color with an initial head that is two fingers thick, but quickly compresses. Sweet sugary fore that comes off tasting almost ale malty. very low hop presence. Flavor is comprised of a susutained sweetness fromt he fore all the way into the finish. It’s sweet, but without any balancing alcohol, bitterness or any other flavor for that matter to balance it. Still it isn’t offensive at least and since I have been int he sun all day it’s coming off fairly refreshing.

Bottled: Very pale yellow colour. Off white dense head. Don’t give many impressions in aroma or flavour. Is almost tasteless. Some astringent sweetness is there. This is shittybeer at its best. Wouln’t even dream of trying it again should I ever hit Phuket.
