Singha

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

Clear pale yellow, smooth, sweet, malty, little citrus, little grassy, little hop.

It’s beer-o-thirty in my book, which means that anytime is basically beer time.
Singha pours a pale clear yellow into my standard lager glass. A small head of foam forms, but quickly fades into total nonexistence. In the nose, a sweet array of light lager yeast notes, grass, and a bit of corn. A very mild light body with a small steady stream of bubbles, though Singha thankfully doesn’t feel or taste overly carbonated, instead it is just the right amount. Overall a sweet palate, with hints of fresh grass and lemon in the back. It leaves a bit of bitterness similar to lemon rind during the overall quaff. A light lager beer in both body and palate, no flavor profile is overly prominent. The bitter lemon tang and fresh grass is pleasant, though I am now getting a bit of a metallic aftertaste which isn’t as pleasant.
Overall, a bit too sweet for my personal taste when it comes to lagers, and I didn’t enjoy the aftertaste. Singha isn’t a bad lager but it isn’t great either.

THOUGHTS: I thought this would be better, being a premium lager, but it does one of the best pale lager impressions I’ve ever seen or tasted. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light yellow with a small to average, fizzy, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was not offensive but was very weak. There was mostly light to moderate grassy hops some vegetable and ever so slight vinegar. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and sour; while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter, lightly acidic, and sour with an average duration. There was sweet malt, corn, sourness, grassy and metallic hops. The light body was watery then dry with fairly soft carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.

Bottle. Pale. No head. Sweet (malt) and refreshing. Works OK with the less spcicy thai dishes.

330ml bottle - thanks Eija!
Pale yellow, fizzy brief head. Surprisingly burnt aroma - like lager splashed on sauna stones. Watery palate. Quite estery taste, pleasant noble hops, with a subtle bite. Refreshing post-curry.

Pours clear golden, little to no head, corn-sweet, initially hoppy, sweet malt finish, fairly well balanced.

Clear yellow, flavour and body are light, palate has some citrus/malt, didnt like this one to much, but it’s ok for drinking in a sunny hot day.

bottle, clear yellow, slight foamy head, malty sweet flavor with a decent clean finish
