San Miguel Pale Pilsner Beer

The San Miguel Brewery of Valenzuela City, Manilla, Philippines, is the source of San Miguel Pale Pilsner Beer. This pale lager comes in cool looking, squat 330mL bottles and contains a standard 5% alcohol. It is a clear, straw coloured pilsner with moderate carbonation and a thin white head.

San Migual has a grain and grass aroma with a soupçon of sweetness. The flavour is balanced between sweetness and bitterness--it's grassy with a gentle hop kick. It's very mild, but pleasant.

S.M.P.P.B. is a great imported beer for  people who are big on pale lagers. It's predictable, but well executed. I'd like to see a bit more head retention though.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
