This beer is I try this one for long long time and got headaches but I try this one again and it’s good one more than old one.
Easy for drinking, medium mouthfeel and sweet from malt, not clean body enough than Saigon Export but it’s ok.
Tasting are malty, some of dry fruit or prune, a little bit of spice and piney, feeling fresh from hops.
Enjoyable and not bad but for my personally I like Saigon Export.
33 cl bottle. I do like the shape and design of it. The aroma is a bit strange. It's hard to describe, but I would say it smells like malt/corn/rice with a certain malt sweetness to it. It's not unpleasant but it takes a while to get used to. As for the taste... It definitely has more flavor than I anticipated. Mostly sweet malt with a tiny hint of bitterness towards the end. The flavor is surprisingly rich overall. There's some of that corn/rice flavor in there as well. Overall, it's rather unique and perfectly fine to drink, but probably not something I would buy again.
Golden, clear with a small white head. Aroma of malt and corn. Light bitter with a mild corn and malt end. Bought Kilpis, Finland.
As Bia Saigon Special from local K-market. Some moderate hops, and malt. Both sweet and bitter lager. Ok.
As Bia Saigon Export. Small unusually heavy bottle from Lidl, drunk overlooking the Black Sea on a hot, humid August evening. Clear gold, not a lot of head or lacing. Simple grains on the nose with corn and rice. More of that in the mouth, sweetness throughout, not much bitterness but a short, clean finish. Refreshing but forgettable.
Can bought at K-Supermarket Hämeenkatu, Tampere. Clear golden with a white head. A typical Asian Lager, light and boring.
bottle @ korean shop (budapest) pale yellow colour, normal body, low carbonated, thick texture, almost head, moderate bitter, moderate sweet, hoppy, grainy, easy to drink

12oz bottle pours out crisp clean pale straw topped with a white head. Nose is light grain corn some grass. Taste is more of the grain grass corn notes. Not bad with my Vietnamese dinner.
Аромат сразу солодовый, сладость есть паточная, почти без хмеля. Цвет золотой, весьма эстетический, пенка белая, мыльная. Вкус питкий. Снова солод есть со сладостью, даже большой, которая отдает в мед. При глотке без намека на хмель один солод, но приятный, сладко. В целом удивительно но хорошо.
