Singha Gold

Brewed by Boon Rawd Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Bangkok, Thailand

Thank God for "Singgold". This beer got me through a month in Thailand, because other than Singha Gold, I never found a beer here that didn't suck enormously. White head with fine bubbles, but it disappears too fast. No lace to speak of. Nose is mildly of lemon, tin and BandAids--not a bit of hops or malt. The taste of Singha Gold is not as offensive as its big brother, so it tastes like a slihtly skunky corona or a bottle of Strohs gone bad. But it goes down alright when you just can't face another Singha. The main problem with this beer was getting most barmaids to understand that you wnated Singha Gold and not Singha--about 3/4 of the time you got a Singha anyway.

Medium white head on a pale yellow clear body. Relatively unapealing appearance with aherbal hoppy aroma. Taste is light bodied and watery, some malt sweatness and pleasant but light on flavor. Drinkable and crisp. Not much else

There has to be something good to say about a light beer that is 4.5% In the humidity and seething population in the Chattuchak market it is a refreshing beer. Back at the hotel it is good, but not as. Anyway, a reasonable spicy note and malt profile. Easy drinking

Bottle. 4.8% Bitter finish makes itself felt, but is dull - neither good nor bad, just kinda there in a thick kid, let me hang around with you, way. The malt body is the same. You know you've drunk this, but you wonder why.

4.8% ABV
Blond color, artificial foam, big bubbles. Sweet, cheap, malt aroma; shandy. Lightly sweet body, not interesting, with a point of malt. Poor final. Very simple.

(bottle) Based on the picture over there, this is what I had. It had the typical pilsner aroma and appearance. Nothing exceptional though I rate it higher than the typical macros and such since it seemed to be a decent light drinking lager.

Almost identical appearance as the stronger version. Pours a bigger head. Palate is not as marked, quite unremarkable.

Playful citrus and mint amongst the cereal...All light of course, yet there is a semblance of work...The total absence of head retention, coupled with the limpid yellow robe, make up an ugly looking glass of urine...A Thai Kolsch?...Nah, that would be trying too much...
