40 Beers to Celebrate 40 Years! Day 35

Beer: Tiger
Type: Lager
Region: Singapore
Rating: Novice

Well, here's a beer that I've seen at the LCBO many times, but have yet to try, mainly because the big intimidating cat was too scary. But in the end, it's a real pussy cat.

This pale lager doesn't bite, but rather purrs from the moment you pour it to the last drop of the glass. Okay....no more cat references from here on in.

It is a dry-hopped beer and has a rich taste. It is a great beer if you want a long drinking session. My initial reaction was that it tasted quite strong. However after a several large sips your taste buds gradually get used to the invasion of hops and the strong taste is replaced with a rich one with a lingering bitter finish. It is an extremely refreshing beer and I find that it goes very well with food, especially with peppery and spicy dishes. It's actually quite pale compared to other lagers, but don't let that deter you. The flagship product from Asia Pacific Breweries, this is worth keeping a few stocked in your fridge.


It's time for a Tiger. grrrrrr
