Beer Lao Lager (Laos)
Beer Lao is my normal tipple when out on the town. It is lightly flavoured and easy to drink. It's not too gassy and is super clean so it doesn't give you a nasty hangover in the morning. It comes in at 5% and was only 60 Baht as I bought it from Shadow Bar on Soi Cowboy during happy hour.



It poured quite well, but lost its head fairly quickly. It has a light, clean taste with a delicate flowery sweetness. Because it is so inoffensive, it is very easy to drink and very moreish. A good session beer.

7 out of 10.

I am really looking forward to the next one...

Thumbs up Beer Lao Dark Lager (Laos)
I am really happy that this is becoming more widely available in various bars around Thailand. If it wasn't so strong, I would drink this all the time. Beer Lao Dark Lager is 6.5% and I also bought it from the Shadow Bar on Soi Cowboy for 60 Baht.



It poured very well and had a good head which didn't disappear. The first thing you notice is the nice burnt malt taste. It's not overpowering; it's just there giving the beer just the right amount of flavour. For a strong beer, it is not at all syrupy and I would've guessed that it was much weaker, because it is so well balanced taste-wise.

Absolutely lovely.

8.5 out of 10.

Now, lets see if those Belgian chaps have learnt how to make a decent beer yet...

Leffe Blonde (Belgium)
The first Belgian beer to be reviewed. Leffe Blonde is fairly strong at 6.6% and cost 124 Baht from Carrefour.




It poured pretty well and kept it's head well. If you look at the picture you will see that I got started on i before I took a picture. I was having a fine old time and forgot. Sorry.

It is a pretty sweet beer and tastes much stronger than the Dark Beer Lao, even though it has a very similar strength. It's also much gassier. despite not really liking gassy beers, it does help to negate some of the heaviness and brings it back into balance a bit.

Overall, not too bad for a Belgian beer.

7 out of 10

And to continue the theme...

Leffe Brown (Belgium)
Seeing as we tried the light & dark Beer Laos, we thought it would only be fair to try the blonde & brown Leffes. The Leffe Brown is 6.5% and also cost 124 Baht.




It poured really well and produced a very robust head. It didn't have the burnt malt taste of the Dark Beer Lao. It was more of a typical dunkel, which Fabian seemed quite happy with. Again, typical of Belgian beers, it was very gassy, which detracted from what could've been a really good beer. That being said, I did prefer it over the blonde, so I will give it a too high...

7.5 out of 10.

Fabs and I were on a roll now, but I only had two bottles in the fridge, so will went halves each.

Pattaya Belgian beer buffs, Manneke Pis Belgian pub/restaurant on Soi Siam Country club has a good range of Belgian beers in the 170-220 Bht price range. Bluddy good food too.

Maredsous Blonde (Belgium)
I bought this on special at Carrefour the other day. It normally retails at 226 Baht a bottle, but I got it for 126 Baht. It is 6%.




Maredsous is a bottle conditioned ale.

It poured ok, but was very cloudy as bottle conditioned ales tend to be. Upon tasting, it was very sweet, very gassy and very syrupy. Generally, not very impressive at all. It did seem to get a bit better towards then end as it softened a bit as it got warmer, which is always a sign of pedigree in a beer.

That being said, everything about this beer was too much.

5.5 out of 10

Chimay Trappist Beer (Belgium)
The last beer of the night was the Chimay Trappist Beer. It normally costs 205 Baht (I paid 105 Baht) and is a hefty 7%.




The Chimay is a red beer, rather than a blonde or a brown. As you can see, I drunk it before I managed to take a piccie.

It was pretty gassy, so it had a decent head, but was very cloudy, so I must assume it is also bottle conditioned.

Upon tasting, it is way too sweet and syrupy. I should've used a knife & fork to consume it. After a while a hint of chocolate surfaces, which is not too unpleasant (for a chick).

I'm glad I only had half a bottle of this stuff, as I don't believe you should have to chew your beer.

5 out of 10.

The Leffe shows that there is hope for Belgian beer, but the last two were prime examples of why I usually avoid them. Gassy and syrupy is the order of the day. Avoid unless you drink beer like wine or you drop a couple of ice cubes in it.

I hope the readers will appreciate all the effort we went through to bring them this well balanced review. We had quite a scientific approach taking notes and having a non beer drinking judge overlooking the testing session.

One minor correction for the moment (my opinion on the beers in detail will follow later): The Leffes were 124.5 each.

They were in the bargain basket at Carrefour. No one in their right mind would pay over 200 Baht for crappy Belgian beer like that.
