Chang Beer Wins Gold Medal at 2008 World Beer Championships

http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20090109/bs_prweb/prweb1841854

The distinguished tasting panel described Chang as: "Bright golden color. Honeyed raisin toast aromas with a hint of lychee follow through on a crisp, smooth entry to a dryish medium body with a hint of apple, nut, and a solid roasted grain character. Finishes with a crisp, balanced earthy hop and pizza dough fade. A very nice food beer."


Now it is true that Chang tastes okay for a Thai beer and if you are willing to ignore the accompanying God awful "Changover" then it is feasible for the beer to win an award.

But how the hell did they come up with that taste description?

Makes you wonder about the effects formaldehyde can have on the brain...

Suddenly it all tastes like nothing compared to what you can get here:

Phuket Brewery

If you are in Phuket I'll meet you there for a real beer!

Cheers!
