The beer is at its best when it's ice cold. As you drink it, it does not give a strong bitterness once it touches your mouth, unlike some beers that you could just jump up and down to push some sort of congestion down to your gut. (see more on my blog)

Appearance: Yellow, fast fading head.

Taste: Watery, not much happening. A little corn does show up on the finish.

Drinkability: Inoffensive cheap stuff.

Another can from Hong Kong. Blue Ice could have been a lot worse, I expected a horrible tasting brew but there really wasn't much there. Just another generic lager.

A: After peeling of the top of this can (yeah, peel top, like a can of soup), I immediately had worries strewn about. I poured it and then was reminded of a jacuzzi. The head steadily rose for a while, then dissipated all in one go. It is quite clear, and suds are pouring out from every edge of the glass. Unusually sudsy. I wonder if the color was injected, because everything else seems synthetic so far.

S: Ah, I'm not the one to ask. My friend says it smells like a tramp's breath, but I've had one too many of other sorts. Sounds like a regular cheap Pilsner to me.

T: Sweetness touches my tongue first off, but hops, or any sense of malt are non-existent. Sugary grains is how I would describe it, but more towards the sugary side. Like a pastel version of sugary wheat.

M: It's not shabby. The amount of carbonation, after settling a bit isn't too bad. Don't expect anything grand though, we're talking about a shit beer here.

D: Don't waste the time on this beer. Why do they even advertise "Ice Filtered" on the front? I don't know. But compared to bottom feeders, I guess there could be worse... maybe...

Another Thai brewed lager from San Miguel. Had a fill date of July 21st 2006...just 44 days old. Poured light yellow, appears overly carbonated with a quickly dissipating head. Not much smell and not much taste for a 6.4% beer. It taste fresh though. Very similar to a dozen other Thai beers. Why can I not fine an ale in Thailand.

1.1/5  rDev -51.1%
look: 1 | smell: 1 | taste: 1 | feel: 2 | overall: 1

Appearance: Thin, clear, generic yellow body. Ugly, cratered, white head with poor, splotchy retention.

Smell: This smells like sewage, and I'm not just trying to be theatrical here. That's literally what it smells like. Other nuances: cooked rice and sulfuric, vegetal cornbread. Ugh.

Taste: Sweet and sugary. Corny. Vaguely alcoholic. Judging by the smell, I expected this to be nauseating, but it's actually just very, very bland and unpleasant.

Mouthfeel: Fine. Effervescent, prickly. Carbonation is so sharp it's almost uncomfortable, but it does a good job of distracting from the taste.

Drinkability: I don't know if I can finish this. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
