Popular Post Crossy Posted December 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted December 4, 2020 Bottles or cans? I drink the small cans, can't say I've noticed any change in taste, elephant pee is elephant pee. 2 13

I find cans taste slightly different to bottle when poured into glass. I find bottle Chang beer which is the only beer I like to drink may taste different at times but I put it down to what I have eaten. Usually I find its pretty consistent. 2
Popular Post Maybole Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Posted December 5, 2020 Chang has always tasted foul to me. I wish I could find a decent Export Pale Ale. 3 1 1 1
CorpusChristie Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Sure you wasn't drinking the new extra cold Chang ? Similar looking cans but slightly weaker alcohol content 1
itsari Posted December 7, 2020 Author Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks for the reply , the chang beer i drink is from bottles . A friend has also mentioned that the chang beer the last month has not been the best . Once i bought a bottle in a bar that was undrinkable . Mentioned this to the management of the bar and just got a shrug of the shoulders , added with a comment I don't drink beer . The change in the beer quality has been for the last month .
Popular Post brommers Posted December 7, 2020 Popular Post Posted December 7, 2020 It is Chang Beer Covid Edition. Totally lost all taste! 9

I wish I could find a decent Export Pale Ale. The 7-elevens near me in Pattaya are carrying Beer Lao IPA, not cheap but it's a nice smooth brew. No idea where you live, but it's worth checking out a big 7-eleven nearby if you can, the small ones may not carry it. 10
Natai Beach Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 It has always been hit and miss. A few years ago I sometimes I would drink 5 large bottles and not feel a thing, the next time I would be off my 3KZ after 4 bottles. 1 1
natway09 Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I have the draught on tap & yes it does vary a bit but I drink it every day & put it down to the fill date as as it matures it gets a slightly maltier taste. Not bad, just a bit different
cucme Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I bought a bottle in 7/11 and it was just too old. May have laid in some corner for more than 3 month. Absolutly undrinkable ????
camble Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I have always found it undrinkable. Maybe I’m just too old. 2
Oldie Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Try the new Leo Number 8. Since it is new on the market at least it can't be old. And it is not so bad. But if it is produced like the normal Leo there might be noticeable fluctuations in taste depending on the production date. They seem not to be able to produce the same taste all the time like western breweries.
rwill Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Several years ago Chang tasted much better. They have changed the formula several times over the last 5 years or so. It really went downhill about the same time they switched to green bottles. 2

I never drink beer which comes in green bottles. This includes Heineken <deleted>, the worst so-called beer on earth, and Beck's from Germany. Green bottles and beer don't go well together. 1

Yes, bottles. I call it skunked. You can actually smell it. Not sure if it's old or has been exposed to light too long. The green bottle does not help (same for Heineken). Bars that sell a lot of it and buy closed cases of 24 don't seem to have that problem.

And Leo is Leopard pee , what that makes Mybeer .......anyway all is dross , look for Beerlao , white , pale or dark all better than Thai stuff. Oh and Makro do a Tsing a song beer Chinese, smell the hops on opening , not Thai canal water.

shackleton Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I drink Chang classic beer regularly and as of now have not noticed any change In flavour
eero Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Beer when it is lagerd in hot +35C ( 1-2 months) is not any more same when fress. I buy from Makro and Leo today bottled 0312. is very good. Taste old beer is really different than new one..

The brewery is close to where I usually live, Nakhon Sawan, and I met some Austrian guys a few years back who were working in the brewery to try and correct the productivity issues. They told me their checks showed the the vol varied from 3% to 14%

MadMuhammad Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I’ve been getting ‘stale’ beers semi regularly in bars. They just change them over

Luckily my liver survived, just............ ???? 1
