Bintang Pilsener

Any trip to Bali seems punctuated with these bottles.

Regardless of age, gender, or social class you'll be putting these away at some point. And to be honest there are far worse beers. It's a wet Asian lager that puts across a sweet and initially slightly sickly sort of malt and very little hops / bitterness to speak of.

Bintang shares a theme here with several other lagers from around the region, most notably Tsingtao in my recent memory. That beer has a bit more character though while this is pretty one dimensional.

Still, it's hard to complain. It's not metallic, stuffed with pride of ringwood or overly carbonated and as a result does the job it's designed to do. Not bad. 3.0
