I went to a Thai restaurant a few nights ago, and I thought it was only fitting that I try a Thai beer. I asked if any of the beers were dark, and the waitress indicated Singha. The bottle was dark brown, I'll give it that much.
The bottle actually read: Singha / PREMIUM / Malt Liquor. I chuckled as I poured, remembering the couple 40s I'd partaken of since college - hey, every guy thinks it is a good idea sometime in their life.
Singha was a golden lager, so clear I could see through it to the people sitting at the table beside me. The problem I have with light beers - it's like it isn't even there at all. I might as well be drinking water for all the taste I get out of the beer. Maybe that is the sign of a good pale ale, or whatever they're called. I know that it didn't taste like the American crud that comes in a can, and I was happy about that! I did notice a hint of sweetness to it, or maybe that was a "rich" flavor, like I said - there wasn't much there.
Perhaps my taste buds just aren't delicate enough. I enjoy drinking porters and stouts, they don't "hint" at flavor or taste.
