Sample from jtclockwork: pours golden. Aroma is sugary and grainy. Taste is sugary without much else going for it. Not good. Not sure if the age made it much worse than it would be originally. Not good.

Holy crap!!
Can from Samagi Wine Store, Galle, Sri Lanka. Pours clear golden with a small and non lasting white head. Aromas of corn,dough and malt. Flavours of malt, corn, honey and some more sweet malt. Sweet finish.
From bottle in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Pours light golden with decent white head. Taste is mild, easily drinkable when chilled. Mostly watery flavour. Definitely not a Pilsener as it is labeled. Average Lager at best.
Typisch südostasiatisches Lager: Dünn, strohgelb, semistabile Krone, leicht metallischer Beigeschmack, Malz und Hopfen gerade so erahnbar. Eiskalt bei der schwülen Hitze jedoch als Durstlöscher konsumierbar. Gerade Anchor smooth wird von Einheimischen gern getrunken. Warum? Keine Ahnung.
Can sample, thanks troubles. Clear pale yellow. Aroma of corn and cooked vegetables. Sweet, corn, honey, vegetal. Light-bodied, watery. Meh.

330 ml can bought at Market Place by Jason's in iSquare, Tsim Sha Tsui.
Clear pale blondeThree-quarter finger head with soapy white foam which fades in 30 seconds; Good sticky lacing with active carbonation; Pungent and sweet aroma of lager malt, with strong floral, sugar, bread, light lemon and grass; Mid to light sweet taste of thin malt, with grains, light floral, sugar notes, light bread, thin lemon and very light bitter grass hops; Light body. Thin palate; Mouth feel is very light maltyness in a watery background. A bit grainy, with floral taste much lighter than its choking aroma suggests. Only slightly sweet, almost no hops with a whiff of light lemon to end. Industrial stuff... Hoppiness is choking floral, light lemon and grass in nose. Light floral, thin lemon and light grass in taste; Bitterness is faint for an abrupt, very light astringent sweet light malty finish; Slightly dry after taste. Flowery and easy to mouth.
Comments: This macro pale's choking floral aroma is fairly discouraging, but at 4% abv, it has little sweetness, basically free of adjunct and off-taste (as well as maltyness) so it's a care-free chugging. Okay for a Macro.
323ml can. Pours pale. Bread, sulfur, a fair chunk of chalkiness, something a touch citrusy. Not good, even by pale lager standards.
On tap in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Pours a pale clear yellow gold with thin head. Mild malt and citrus/earthy notes. Funky aroma - not particularly pleasant. Mild flavoured. Mild malt and earthy flavours. Thin bodied. High carbonation. I really did not enjoy this beer - also, the more and more I drank it the more and more I disliked it.
Refreshing malty watery tasteless thing. Ok on a hot day. A bit like US Budweiser
Can 33cl. Brewed in Cambodia, from a petrol station in the outskirts of Phnom Penh [3/2/2017]. From the can but probably clear pale golden; nose malty and grainy, bit metallic; taste medium sweet and light bitter, light malty, corny, paper; watery sweetbitter aftertaste; okay lager when you are thirsty.
From tap @Madison Bar, Battambang [6/2/2017], poured into a 33cl. dimpled mug. Clear pale golden, good frothy white head, fairly lasting, good lacing; aroma malts, grain, corn; taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty corny, light hay, sweetbitter aftertaste; medium body, oily to water texture, average carbonation; allways nice to have it from tap, from 2.5 of the canned version 0.1 higher score.
Can - Skunky grains. Clear gold with a decent white head. Some apple, light grain and a touch of skunk.
Tasted 9/1/2017. Bottle, China Town, Singapore; 4.2%. BB 14 DEC 17. Poured a crystal clear pale amber with a one- to two-finger bright white foamy head that diminished quickly to a cap that didn’t laced. Carbonation low, slow and medium to coarse. Aroma of semi-sweet citrus. Taste rather bland with hints of semi-sweet citrus and a low harsh bitterness. Light body. Crisp and smooth if cold otherwise with a short slight bitterness on the finish.

Medium Body, medium carbonation, light mouthfeel. tastes of tobacco, lightly citric, some harsh bitterness, grainy. finishes medium bitter with notes of tobacco and grains. Not a fan, rather watery.
Bread and grain malts, light caramel, straw. Clear gold, medium, creamy, white head. Light sweet. More sweet bread malts, caramel, grain, lively carbonation, cardboard, medium bodied. Rubbish Lager, just about justifiable only in the Sri Lankan heat. Sri Lankan brewed can from Food City, Kandy.
Can produced by Cambodia Brewery Ltd., 5%, 8848017111003. Weicher, hell herber Start. Erstaunlich ist die noch leicht steigende Herbe, ansonsten wenig aromatisch, eher trocken. Bitter-trockener Nachhall. 6/8/7/7/7/6
Can from FairPrice in Singapore. Pale gold pour with minor head. Bread, a little hop brightness, hints of stale grains and metal.

Body is light, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, light corn and metal, faint hoppyness. Finish is short, malty and lightly sweetish, light corn and sharp metal and faint vegetable hoppyness.
