🌍 Vietnam · Lager · One of 137 Lagers in hopIQ

Singaporean pale lager launched 1932 by Asia Pacific Breweries (now Heineken) — the local pour in Vietnam since Heineken opened the Da Nang brewery in 2011. Brewed on malted barley with a rice adjunct in the Southeast-Asian light-lager tradition — the rice keeps the sweetness down and the mouthfeel smooth. Pale gold, a faint bready lift, subtle hop bitterness, dry finish. 5% ABV, chill-served. Vietnam is today one of Tiger's largest markets worldwide.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tiger Vietnam

Appearance

Tiger presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency characteristic of a well-crafted pilsner-style lager. The beer maintains a thin, white head that dissipates quickly, revealing fine carbonation visible as steady streams of tiny bubbles rising through the crystal-clear body.

Aroma

The nose is delicate and understated, with subtle malt sweetness and faint grain notes dominating the profile. Light citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, while the hop character remains barely perceptible—appropriate for a beer designed for refreshment rather than aromatic complexity.

Taste

The palate opens with crisp, clean malt sweetness and a light, dry body that drinks exceptionally smooth. A modest hop bitterness (18 IBU) provides gentle balance without asserting itself, allowing the beer's refreshing character to take center stage throughout the mid-palate.
