Phuket Island Lager: Review

The Original Island Beer
“Make Everyday a Phuket Day”
Phuket, Thailand


5% abv
11.2 oz bottle
$10.99 a six pack

Appearance: crystal clear pale gold with a one finger white head


Aroma: day old buttermilk biscuit; wet sweet grains; very lager like

Flavor: sweet grains; on the bottle it says they use jasmine rise – that might be the sweet grain that I notice; (at least it is not sugar sweet like some American Lagers and Pilsners) biscuit; mild lager bitterness

Mouthfeel: sweet up front; mild bitterness on the finish; firm carbonation; crisp; light body;


To the Point: okay for a lager; nice packaging on the bottle to make it fun for a party; should be refreshing on a hot summer day; nothing special here; if you just want to try something different give it a try; with 57 reviews on beer advocate they gave it a 67 – poor; I wouldn’t say it is that bad; I’ll give it a C for a grade
