Baht Simpson Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I tried Boon Rawd's new beer last night. It's touted as a strong beer but is still only 5.1 % ABV compared to the standard Leo at 5%. It does seem a little stronger in taste though and slightly better than the standard, although that's not saying much. Interesting that they use Noble hops. At least they're trying harder. Like most Thai beers though it's much of a muchness and slightly more expensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donekys Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It has no taste and a stink to it. Stick to the regular Leo! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreasyFingers Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2020 If you want something stronger try Tappers, 6.5%. Beers with higher alcohol content taste better to me. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beers with higher alcohol content taste better to me. Of all the "new" beers that have appeared over the last few years, Tapper is the only one I'll touch. I find the rest of them to have unpleasant flavours and odours, probably from too many chemical additives. Remember, there's no Rheinheitsgebot here, they can stick anything they feel like in the beers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jastheace Posted November 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've got a suggestion for the 'Singha Corporation'. Try and find the old recipe for Leo when it was 5.5%, and tasted ok, very drinkable. relabel it as 'Leo AIW' (as it was), or 'Leo BTO' (back to original). as all beers seem to have been messed around with around the same time, 2008/2009?, i'm sure it would prove very popular, once again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffersLos Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) There were cans of Celtic Amber in my local 7-11 last week. But only 4% Has anyone here tried it? Maybe it is just a rebrand of Black Dragon Red Beer. Edited November 22, 2020 by JeffersLos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes like water, as you mentioned probably rebranded from the black dragon, which also tasted like water IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New can design but the taste didn't improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogie Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Does this Leo 8 taste like normal Leo or is it a completely different taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder26 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I tried it today and it is very close to Singha Reserve tastewise. It is sweet and smooth. Big improvement from the normal Leo. However I wish it was more hoppier ???? Edited November 26, 2020 by Thunder26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder26 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I've had another session with Leo No.8 and I could tell for sure that the buzz is similar to premium beers, however the taste is a let down. If you are looking for a nice relaxing feeling, then this beer is the right choice. I'm going to experiment more with it. So far I'm quite pleased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the feeling it brings after drinking it is way better than the regular Leo. In my opinion Leo No.8 could become a hit!
