Launched in 2013 as the premium sub-brand of Huda, Huda Gold is brewed with selected Pilsen malt and noble spicy hops. Hints of pomelo, known as Thanh Tra in Central Vietnam, meet a crisp, light malty taste. The lager weighs in at 4.7% ABV and comes in bottles and cans. The name builds on Huda, which joins Hue and Danmach, the Vietnamese word for Denmark.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Huda Gold

◎ Appearance

Huda Gold presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, luminous character. The head forms with moderate density and maintains a fine, persistent Schaumkleiden along the glass wall. Carbonation is brisk and fine, evident in steady streams of small bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained but defined noble hop character—floral and gently spicy notes typical of classic European varieties. A subtle pomelo citrus accent emerges, fresh and slightly dry, layered beneath a clean, understated malty foundation. The overall impression is crisp and inviting, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolics.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives light and refreshing, with a bright citrus entry that echoes the aroma's pomelo note. Mid-palate develops a soft, biscuity malt sweetness balanced by the spicy, herbal bitterness of noble hops; the structure remains elegant and proportioned. The finish is crisp and clean, with mild hop bitterness (22 IBU) lingering without astringency.
