About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Name: Chang
Brewery: Cosmos Brewery Co., LTD.
Overall Rating: C+
Style: Lager
Serving Style: Bottle 11.5fl. oz.
ABV: 5.0%
Price: $Gift
Appearance: Crystal clear with a frothy, white head that quickly disappears to nothing. There about 5 bubbles on top of the beer about 3 minutes after the pour. Color is a pale yellowish orange.
Aroma: Detecting a hint of malts. Smells like a lager with a slight bitterness to it.
Flavor: Mild with a hint of malts and a subtle touch it of hops. Another beer from the World Traveler kit that is surprising me. I poured this one too thinking “Ew, its another pale one!” Surprisingly I am able to drink this one. I am not totally digging it, but its got some flavor there.
Body: Super light with a good amount of carbonation. Wouldn’t be able to tell from the head retention. But, yes, it still tickles the tongue. Sneaky!
Enjoyability: If I was in Thailand again I would drink this over the Tiger beer [which I have had and yes, I know it's from Singapore]. I won’t recommend you guys go out and seek this one out at your local beer purchasing place of choice. But if you happen to get a World Beer Traveler as a gift, then it is drinkable.
Side note: It did win a Gold medal at the Australian International Beer Awards [AIBA?] in 1998.
Another take: Non-Core [Ba] | Thai Beverage Public Company Limited
