Hanoi Premium Beer (pack of 6) (33cl, 4.9%)

Hanoi Premium Beer is a European-style pale lager brewed in Vietnam by HABECO, a brewery founded in 1890. It is made with pilsner malt, spring barley from France and the Czech Republic, Saaz hops from the Žatec Valley in Bohemia, and locally grown rice. An extended natural fermentation, two to three times longer than the brewery's standard lager, gives a cleaner, more refined profile than the original Bia Hanoi. It is sold as a six-pack of 330ml bottles. The aroma opens with light grainy malt, followed by delicate floral hop character and a trace of lemon drop sweetness, with a faint sulfur note in the background. The palate is clean and malt-forward, with gentle rice sweetness, mild Saaz bitterness, grassy herbal notes and high carbonation. The finish is dry and moderately bitter, with lingering grassy hop character and a faint cereal grain echo.
