Singha
Look: Translucent yellow with decent amount of carbonation and a head as white as the label
Taste: Slight edge on the initial drink followed by a tasty and crisp barley flavor throughout
Conclusion: This beer has an interesting little story behind it. I was in a teleconference meeting at work when I noticed a nauseous feeling in my gut. I then realized the entire building wash shaking pretty heavily from side to side. Next thing we know we're evacuated from the 10th floor and are told we can go home. SWEET!
So it was off with my brew reviewing buddy(ya, we work in the same building) to our favorite little Thai restaurant. As we sat down, it dawned on us...we can order beer! Supersweet!
This little brew paired excellent with my plate of rice and garlic tofu. It's a light lager and being a Thai beer, goes perfect with Asian food and rice. Bite of tofu...wash it down with a good beer. Now, that's a great meal. This wouldn't be a beer to drink on its own, though it is light and refreshing. Either a warm summer day or any oriental food and you've found this beer a nice friend. I'd rate this the second best Thai beer I've had behind the best of them, Phuket.
6 Brews!

I'd have to agree with this review. Singha is not the greatest stand alone beer, by any means, but it pairs up well with any Asian food, and even some BBQ.
Its light and refreshing, but has a little kick that enhances your food.
