Bia Saigon
Special Lager

Category: Pale Lager

Date Tasted:
Country: Vietnam
Alcohol: 4.9%
Straw color. Aromas and flavors of honey buttered toasted ciabatta and cheddar popcorn with a finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish imparting impressions of panettone, honeyed corn bread, curly endive, and grain. A light and crushable lager for a hot summer day’s picnic or beach party.

True to their name, pale lagers are pale in color and range in alcohol from 4-6%. These beers are generally light to medium-bodied with a light-to-medium hop impression and a clean, crisp malt character. Pale lagers are the standard international beer style as exemplified by products from Miller to Heineken. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Lager, Birra Moretti Lager and Damm Estrella Damm Lager.
