Really? Snowy?

[WonderfulDay]

I haven't been to Thailand in some time, and read on this forum about this new beer Snowy White - supposed to be pretty nice....

 

OMG

 

It taste like cheap burned sausage from a cart outside your condo

 

Are you really so desperate?

[Argus Tuft]

?????????????

 

(sorry, only way I could articulate my response to your post)

[WonderfulDay]

Hire a very talented designer - the can looks beautiful

 

Collect soi dogs pee

 

Drop burned sausage in it

 

= you have this "beer"

 

Obviously owned by the oligopoly since it got so much space nationwide in an instant.

Guess you mean Snowy Weizen? It's wheat beer, so can't be directly compared to the regular stuff. Brewed by Singha, part of their Est 33 range. Singha Copper is another, it's quite nice - though only had it on draft.

Now loads of beerbrewers in Europe also make white beer cause it's so popular. 

 

In Tops they sell whitebeer from Denmark now in 1l cans for 200 baht..they are good! There's also another good german whitebeer in those large cans for 200.

Weissbier is a refreshing warm weather drink.  It is slightly lower in alcohol; a totally different taste as if it had some lemonade mixed in.  It will be slightly murky as the brewing process is different.

 

Personally, I'm pleased to see different beers arriving.  Although this is by no means a Schneiderweiss, it is a step in the right direction.

 

Try it.

This thread is useless without a photo.

Noticed it appear on the shelf a couple of months back, picked it up, put it back down.

Strange post from the OP. If you don't like it don't drink it.

 

I have had a few and it seemed Ok to me, a bit different but no problem. Possibly it will confuse people because it is not fizzy, flavour free and translucent.

[Jonathan Fairfield]

I tried Snowy Weizen a few weeks back and it was ok, it's not as good as  Kiss Me Deadly or Honey Bomb which are the Thai craft beers in 7-Eleven.

 

Kiss Me Deadly is really quite good

I'll give it a go, if it's awful I'm blaming you.

[OmegaRacer]

I like it and will take it anytime over a Chang or Leo or Singha.

[Hogs]

ITS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD and feedback has been very good also to the point Singha had to increase production due to demand and at 59 baht for a can in 7-11 its also a cheaper option to the imported ones 

[Formaleins]

If you expect a weizen to be like a "normal" beer then you are going to be disappointed. Made from different ingredients, i.e. wheat or rye, so the taste and look is unique.

Not everyone cup of tea so to speak, I much preffered a normal German beer to Weizen anyday, but that is just my personal taste.

 

Why not give it a try like the younger kids did in Bavaria, try a "Grune Weizen" (Weizen with Bols peppermint ) or a Cola Weizen?

Yeah , me too.  We know who to point at eh.  But to be fair any beer is better than the grot that comes in green bottles.

Sorry not my fault through drinking  that 3 replies , something to do with a member  of tv staff having a siesta.

Snowy Weizen not a bad beer but must be poured into a glass do not drink it from the can. The worst beers and to expensive are Kiss me deadly and Honey bomb. Took some to a party to try nobody liked either of them.

[Silurian]

I tried the Snowy beer and found it to have a subtle strange fruity/perfume taste that was off-putting. If it wasn't for that, I thought it was okay. I tend more towards the Carlsberg or "U" beer for normal consumption. If I want to splurge, I will buy a Dunkel from one of the various German imports.

[holy cow cm]

Copper and Snowy are a no go for me. I would say Cheers is better than those ones. Phuket is best, but my friend sold that after he moved the brewery to Cambodia.

Happy to see these positive posts, been away for a few days and planning to have a few in the bar on Friday night but didn't see any today in BigC or the nearby wholesaler and was wondering if it had been withdrawn already. Hope the bar is still stocking them, haven't been in 7 so don't know the score there.

Saw it yesterday and didn't bite. Thx for the review, but still have to give it a go sometime. All Thai beers suck, but the ones (imo) that suck least are Cheers X-tra (red) & Cheers (blue), respectively.

Had Snowy white last March and don't understand the fuss, firstly it is not a true weizen beer like you get in countries like Germany, and secondly it does not produce any snow and thirdly it tastes just like piss  ?

I think 7-11 is the only place they're sold. Still available, 55 baht large can. 

[rott]

Yes 55 in 7, since been in and clocked it. The bar I was in last night still does them, not sure of the price because someone else insisted on paying my bin. My main interest is the 4% abv, whether it is any better or worse than the others I could not say. To me all the beer here is drinkable, none of it memorable.

I like the taste of Snowy Weizen. Although it is actually not a Weizen at all, It is a rice beer...

But it is refreshing when you are thirsty...

Enjoy
