About the beer:
Looks great with pristine clarity, very light and crisp with almost no head. There is very little flavor and it’s like drinking flavored water. Aroma of malt and grain are missing. Definitely tastes and smells sweet with little hop presence. The after taste is watery.
I was hoping for some good hop flavor but got nothing. A decent beer but it doesn’t excite me in any way and also not good enough to warrant another purchase.
The two best things about this are
(a) it is a tick and
(b) I never have to have it again
My Own Rating:
Aroma : 5/10
Appearance : 5/10
Taste : 5/10

Overall : 5/10
PS: Special thanks to Nirmal Khona for getting this beer for me from Thailand.
