Saigon Beer-Alcohol Beverage Corp.'s Saigon Export

Ingredients: water, malt, rice, hop.

Just one hop?

Pours a clear amber-tinged yellow with a decent head for a lager on the lighter side. Wow, for only 4.9% ABV, this one smells like little more than alcohol. It's like a champagne pilsner, but only once your nose stops burning.

Not too bad of a taste. Kind of like a white grape juice pilsner. A friend of my dad's once wrote a book about Vietnam called Winter's Coming, Winter's Gone, and this must be the tiger piss he wrote about. Good book. Mediocre beer.
