I am a bit annoyed at having to write this beer review.
It is not the beer’s fault but I had previously done a write up only to find later that a virus had wiped away all of my alcoholic musings.
Gold Benthanh is a Vietnamese beer that is not appallingly dreadful nor much to write home about.
It is a beer that has a “by the numbers” feel to it as if the brewers concentrated more on the spreadsheet and sales projections than the actual brew.
The website is a hoot and is packed full of English transliterations that make for a fun read.
Apparently Gold Benthanh is “Best use after freezing” and the stated ingredients are “Water, 100% wheat, houbon, alcohol 4.7%”.
I do often wonder whether Asian beers ever enter into the brewing process and can’t help thinking that most breweries prefer just to add a bucket of anti-freeze into the mix instead….
