Singha Light

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

A prime example of a quality Asian beer. The aroma is fresh and the taste starts off nicely. Bitters as it warms.

very pale straw, thick fluffly white head. Faint aroma, but what’s there at least reminds me of hops, and there are no off aromas. So there’s at least that. This bottle said it expired about a year and a half ago. It gets bonus points for not being a skunky mess. It’s very very clean, some pale malt, bit of hops for balance, but in the end is as it sets out. Smooth, cool and refreshing. I can respect this pale lager.

Light malty aroma with some nutty sweetness. Bad, overly-commercial label, very pale, clear beer with an evaporating head. Lightly sweet, underbittered, a bland Europils character. Thin body, adequate carbonation. At least it isn’t adjuncty. If there was ever a day to drink it, it was today - 100% humidity, 100º F here in Tallytown. I could see this as a staple in Thailand.

630 ml bottle. Pale golden colour. Crystal clear. Tall coarse white head. Floral and spicy hop aroma not unlike Saaz hops. Soft carbonation. Light-bodied. Feels a little watery. Light on the malts. Clean flavours with a texture that feels a little powdery and dry. Drinkable, but it is a little thin.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pale golden with a white head. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Thin-bodied, some hints of malt and brewing cereal and a metallic edge. "The light of your life" the label claims, well I don’t really think so - drinkable though. Very subdued bitterness. 270707

Moustly white foam pour, brighter yellow color, pearl like bubbles. Good hop, skunk aroma that’s mild enough and pleasant. Mild watery malt flavor with a rush of sweet sugar on the back of the buds. Slight bitterness in the flavor.

33 cl bottle. Aroma of grassy hop, with perhaps a slight malt note. Very pale gold color with a fizzy white head. Rather thin in body with light, fizzy carbonation. The flavor is not bad, there’s just not a great deal of it. There is definite noble hop, and that builds in the finish. Certainly better than a number of lights.

From 12oz bottle. Had at a Thai restaurant so it pretty well complimented the food. This beer is not as good as the regular Singha, and is just a typical pale lager. Slight mild malts and faint grassy tones.
