If you want semi-decent beer, try craft breweries like Pasteur Street (Saigon) or furbrew (Hanoi). Huda beats both. Bia 333 is superior to all. If forced to choose…. Bia Ha Noi. The best tasting of the ultra cheap beers. Truc Bach. Between the two, Bia Ha Noi.

33 Export Label was probably the first "real" beer in Vietnam, by which I mean one with a standard recipe and proper distribution vis-a-vis homebrews. As such the name "33" itself was derived from the original 33-centilitre bottle that it came in when it was first distributed in the 1900s. This was the beer that was for most of the last century bee...
Color:Dark Gold Aroma: Yeasty, with a touch of light honey, fresh citrus, with a gentle bittersweetness. Taste:Medium-bodied, with a light maltiness of honey, oats, lots of cereal. It is of medium richness - not overly bright nor too sticky rich, a very good richness indeed. A very gentle bitterness, accompanied by caramel and light tropical fruit....
This was very enjoyable - a great mouthfeel and balance. It isn't particularly complex but its notes are neither too bright nor too dark, which is what exudes that nice balance. The level of richness is outstanding, this is like a denser version of the standard Bia Saigon Lager with that added touch of fruit, more caramel and a light bitterness to ...
After Vietnam's reunification, the local government had taken control of BGI Brewery which now became the Southern Brewery Company (as Ho Chi Minh was located in the South of Vietnam), and at the time was still largely dependent on "33" Beer for sales. As the new government wanted to distance itself from any colonial associations, "33" Beer was ren...
Very well balanced, it isn't exceptionally flavorful but it is nonetheless a decent and nice easy drink. The flavors are fairly mild but easy as it isn't particularly bitter (which is great for begrudging beer drinkers). It's considerably brighter in profile and lighter, with not so much richness.
Export labels typically contain a higher alcoholic content as the additional alcohol helps to keep flavors intact better for overseas shipping and storage, aside from which there's typically not much other major differences unless specific markets impose their own requirements. As this Export label came from Vietnam as well, it's probably safe to s...
Bia Saigon Special is a label targeting the higher-end segment of beer consumers (albeit still very affordable particularly for foreigners in Vietnam) and can be easily found in convenience stores. This is the re-release of the Bia Saigon Special which first debuted in 1999. The new Special label is designed to suit what SABECO saw as changing tast...
This is alittle more hefty especially in mouthfeel, which is quite distinctive, almost like a light butter. It isn't too sophisticated but it is big on what simple palette of flavors it contains - very smooth and buttery, slightly more sweet than bitter, but really more textural than it is focused on the taste. It is nonetheless very easy to drink,...
If Bia Saigon Special was about the hops, Bia Saigon Gold is about the yeast. This label is also catered for the higher-end segment (again, still very affordable and available) and is supposed to be brewed using a special strain of yeast. Like the Bia Saigon Special, this also undergoes a longer fermentation time to create a more distinctive and st...
Not the most enjoyable frankly. From its aromas it can be quite difficult to get through and isn't the most appealing. It’s somewhat funky like overly fermented, left out beer that’s gone sour. Maybe the yeast went alittle overkill. Not particularly enjoyable and quite hard to get past. These are some tough flavors to love.

Dec 20, 2022 · Exceptional. Gold color. Aromas and flavors of roasted plantain and steamed rice and beans with a satiny, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a smooth, carefree finish with notes of vanilla nougat and dry straw. Clean and easy with a touch of sweetness; yummy and crushable.
