The good people behind Beerfest Asia send me some samples and I've enlisted my fellow beer fiend Raymond to down em cold ones.
Its only right that we start with the lightest tasting one. San Miguel Super Dry from the Philippines. We both downed this in no time. Verdict: Where's the flavour? Was that beer?
Then its Flying Dog's Old Scratch Amber Lager from US. Verdict: The best brew for the night. Malty with pleasant bitterness and nice toasted malt aftertaste. Will buy this from the stores.
Next off, Negra Modelo from Mexico. Verdict: Overly sweet and not very enjoyable. I was expecting nice malty vienna styled dark beer "think Paulaner Munich Dark" but got something that neither here nor there.
Then its good old Belgium standard Leffe Blonde. Verdict: Fruity, spicy and alcoholic.
Ended it with Oakleaf's Heart of Oak from England. Verdict: Pours murky and flat with zero head. Mouthfeel was watery light not unlike Kilkennys. Tastewise was not that bad with a dry finish and light roasted taste.
Many thanks to Beerfest Asia for the *hics*.
