I can say without question or hesitation that this is the best beer I've ever sampled from Cape Promthep, Thailand. Of course, it is also the only beer, so a more detailed description is no doubt required. The best thing this beer has going for it is a name that sounds hilarious when you're drunk. Indeed, I have come to the personal belief that the marketing team behind its inception had that in mind first and created a beer around it afterwards. It creatively uses Thai Jasmine Rice to give it a distinctive flavor, but underhops the beer, cancelling out potential gains. When this beer was sampled I had only a single bottle, but the conclusion that was reached by the end of it was that it would be substantially better with a wedge of lime, so please do let me know if any of you have tried it that way! It would be a cool refreshing lager if it weren't for an annoying coppery aftertaste that ruins the subtle jasmine flavor. Not an ideal beer to be sure. In fairness I found the bottle on sale for 69 pence, so it scores well on value for money. Still - 4/10.
