Every country in the world
produces at least one beer for the population to enjoy and some of those beers
are exported to other countries. In some Asian countries they brew beer with
rice instead of malt. Generally these are lagers and they tend to be called
rice lagers. But when you see a rice lager in the U.S.A we generally called
adjunct lager. Any ingredients such as rice or corn are an adjunct. But not
all-Asian beer that is imported to the U.S.A has rice. Some change the recipe
for America taste. This is Sabeco Saigon
Export, 4.9% ABV, from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Saigon Export is one Asian
beer in the U.S. brewed with rice. Saigon Export pours a clear, crisp golden
color with a three finger bubbly white head that fades at a normal rate and
leaves behind tiny whips of lacing that didn’t really stick around. I found
there to be tons of light streaming through the glass and there is a large
amount of carbonation bubbles racing towards the top. The aroma is much like
any adjunct lager would be. There is a slight biscuit note there with a very
faint apple like scent that was a bit different. Saigon Export has a nice crisp
taste that is clean and somewhat refreshing. I found a nice biscuit flavor
there with a very faint apple note as well. The mouth feel is light and refreshing
with a nice very faintly sweet finish and an after taste that of biscuit malts
and a faint touch of sweetness. Overall this is an average beer. I would say
this gets a C. I found there to be nothing to complain about or nothing worth
telling the world about. I think that Saigon Export is drinkable, crisp, clean,
and refreshing. So go out and try Sabeco Saigon Export and see what you think
of it. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
