Crouching Tiger: Tiger Beer

Throughout the time of my beer collecting, I have discovered that Asian beers really suit me. So I was quite excited when I found this one, especially since it meant adding a new country to my collection. Originating from the business and financial centre in Southeast Asia, this world acclaimed Tiger Beer calls the tiny country of Singapore its home.

Tiger Beer

Tiger beer, despite it’s ferocius name, looks just like another lager out there. It has a typical pale yellow color, completely clear, and is topped with a very weak foamy head which runs away immediately. A malty and mostly grainy aroma dominates the nose. Nothing new, but not bad. The taste, on the other hand, is (surprisingly) nice. The beginning is familiar, with the sweetness upfront, followed by a grainy (corn) body. But there is also the addition of some hops and the finish is pleasanty bitter (just bitter enough).

Although Tiger Beer isn’t really anything you haven’t tried before, it still offers enough taste to make it a fine and smooth refreshment. I would definitely give it another chance, but haven’t seen it for a while now.
