Craig’s tasting

While I am struggling to come to terms with the fact that I have rated an Asian beer so highly. I must admit I am happy to be doing it.

While drinkers in Western countries have spent their time developing tastes for their local offerings, it seems the slow but unavoidable rise of the Asian continent has been continuing.

Most beer drinkers out there don’t immediately rush to the Asian section of the bottle shop when looking for their confidence builder of choice. I can ignorantly say I am also one of these people.

Tiger Lager is an easy drinking, moderately flavoured potential weapon of mass drunkeness. Best drunk very cold and very quickly.

My thoughts on this beer are clear. The people of Malaysia must be very careful. If western countries led by the USA ever find out that they are harbouring weapons of mass drunkeness they will have deal with a swift and decisive invasion.

We will have to send in a crack team of alcoholics, college students and English football fans to eradicate all the Tiger Lager they can find. Seriously

When I travel to Asia the beer I choose to get drunk on is Tiger…………Tiger Beer.

With a taste as big as Asia itself (or at least Singapore and parts of peninsula Malaysia) Tiger provides me with the flavour I demand and the alcohol I need.

Tiger is an award winning beer. At last years International Bavarian Beer Awards it took silver in the “beer named after the coolest animal” easily beating Old Speckled Hen into bronze but being pipped for gold by Aardvark Ale. Oh yeh it's won some 40 odd international awards for flavour, taste, appeal etc etc etc etc but that's less important.

Tiger does rate very highly and is a genuine example of an international lager that appeals to all socio-economic levels ranging from the factory worker drinking at the end of the day who thinks his life sucks and can't get any worse to the chief executive officer of his company who has just decided to make job cuts and knows that his workers life will indeed become much worse.

Tiger is 330 ml of frosty amber goodness people, so if you can’t drink yourself into a gutter then you’re just not trying!

Rated 8 (very close to 8.5). Top notch in my opinion.
