Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 28, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 28, 2022 Exhibit #1: Mahanakhon White Ale, 5% Well they say it's 5%, but it looks and tastes like lemonade. Not bad if you want something refreshing, but a beer it is not... Also says it's "Thai craft beer", but then the small print reveals that it's actually brewed and canned in Vietnam. My beer is a complete lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 28, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 28, 2022 Exhibit #2: Federbräu, 5% Awful, just awful sickly sweet, sticky smell and taste. Reminds me of a dirty go-go bar at 3am in the morning. Actually ended up in a sink... I wish I had a proper bitter beer to wash away the sweetness, had to settle down for some ghost pepper instead. Moving on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 28, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 28, 2022 Exhibit #3: Bia Saigon Special, 4.9% This feels like heaven after the previous disaster. I went for this as I had it before and so I knew what to expect... A decent, very drinkable Vietnamese beer that smells and tastes like an actual beer. So I'll consider it a win More shitty beers incoming tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've been pleasantly surprised by the Schlenkerla beers. Very unique and drinkable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Brewers Gold looks very good though, that amber colour, but I haven't tried it yet... @Tommy? @Rucksackfranzose? Have you tried that one? On 24/03/2021 at 22:06, Rucksackfranzose said: Bought a few bottles Warsteiner Brewers Gold- had two with lunch and can say it's not a beer I'll purchase again, too malty and too little hop for my taste. Tasted a little like that old Blockmalz candy, only not as sweet,. Thinking of it a Malzbier without sweetness is a much more fitting comparison. On 01/04/2021 at 04:27, Tommy said: Finally found it in a store, even though only in a can. Colour looks nice. First taste was okay. But very malty indeed. Generally just tasted like a polished Warsteiner. And you know what they say about polishing a turd. So I just accidentally found it in a random supermarket here today and decided to verify your reviews. Contributing to science and all that... Think it's better than regular Warsteiner quality-wise, but very malty (too malty) indeed! Will not be buying it again, but it's better than I thought it would be!

I think the primary characteristic is that it's unfiltered? I know it by the style and appearance, but not the method of brewing. I'd have to look it up tbh.
