How would you say the above? I ordered a jug of beer and while it was poured fresh there wasn't enough gas in it....

I would say เบียร์นี้ไม่เกิดฟองหรอก

I would say เบียร์นี้ไม่เกิดฟองหรอก

Thanks

I would probably say เบียร์นี้ไม่มีซ่าเลย (this beer doesn't have any fizz) but I could be wrong.

That's what I would say, however ซ่า is a Verb so you would not need the "มี" in there.

Are you sure? I thought it could be used as both a noun and a verb.

Thanks for the alternatives.

Although I'm unable to verify whether เบียร์นี้ไม่ซ่าเลย is correct term or not, I can assure you that it's not to be written as ไม่มีซ่า

Just ไม่ซ่า is correct.

In my opinion, when the word ซ่า refers to the sound of a foaming liquid or patter of rain, etc., it is an adverb. For instance, we say ฝนตกซ่าๆ, but we can't say ฝนซ่า.

Just ไม่ซ่า is correct.

I've asked around and it appears you are correct.

ซ่า means refreshing.

When used with sparkling drink, it's usually means sparkling and refreshing.

In advertisement you'll hear people use the word ซ่า when they pull the cap from the bottle. The word ซ่า is often associated with the sound of opening a bottle or can.

But an ice-cold non-sparkling drink can also be ซ่า.

When you say your beer is not ซ่า it can in my opinion also mean it's not cold or you just don't think the taste is refreshing - although most people will probably think about "flat" beer.
