Bought from Chinatown -Manchester, picked this up after seeing the word GOLD emblazed on the front so thought i was getting something more...how wrong i was 4.8% as apposed to 6% for its brother (didn’t look on the back before buying) If you thought the standard stuff was crap then.........

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway (grocery stores). The "little brother" of the ordinary Singha, which also is available here (at Vinmonopolet). Pale golden colour, large and lingering head, very moderate carbonation. Tolerable fruity and grassy aroma. Fairly "neutral" lager flavour, some malty sweetness and moderate hops - not a great beer, but fortunately without the nasty "industrial" and metallic sidenotes that so many pale lagers are cursed with. Drinkable swill for the beach in Thailand.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, bubbly white mediumsized head. Malty aroma with hints of mint (!). Malty flavour with vegetably notes. Bitter finish. Refreshing, but still like a little brother to Singha.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Where I come from a "Gold" is usually a stronger lager, but with this beer it’s the other way around. "Singha Gold" is paler in colour and lighter in alcohol than the standard "Singha". Less hoppy, less body and probably also less calories. But still pretty high in carbonation. Still a rather pleasant lager though. 181103

BB 3.2005. Standard lager color, big bubbled medium white head. Metallic, midly hopped aroma, some sweet tones. Watery palate. Thin bodied, no carbonation. Flavor starts with mild sweetness, ends with skunky hops and some dryness.

Hawaii 2005: Poured golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity-mostly apple. Taste is mildly sweet but not as much as the regular Singha. Clean finish, and not much to speak of.

Bottle, German brewed version. Pale gold, thin but lasting white head and moderate condition. Gentle sweet malty aroma with a little hops and chalkiness developing. Clean and smooth in the mouth with grainy sweet malt most noticable. Finish is short and moderately malty with trace hop bitterness.
