Sunmai Bar - Trying the World Champion Craft Beer; Honey Lager @ Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan

Roaming around Taoyuan International Airport while waiting for the arrival of our plane back to Singapore, the above notice caught my attention. World Champion Craft Beer; I do love a glass of craft beer and more so if it was a champion!

Three types of lager to choose from at Sunmai Bar, and I was pleased to see that the 2022 champion was the honey lager! With an ABV (alcohol by volume) of a comfortable 5%, I had to fork out the 200 Taiwan dollars to give this a try.

Finding a comfortable seat at the bar to enjoy my beer! From what I read on the web, this sunmai beer was from this company called Le Ble D’or.

Would this be the perfect foam to beer ratio? The scrooge in me would prefer lesser foam so that I would have more beer content to enjoy but there are reasons for the foam, affecting aroma, texture and flavor.

Enjoying my 400ml beer. Despite the popularity of beer drinking in Taiwan, I actually didn't drink much in my eight days in Taiwan. That's actually quite a pity as a sip at bedtime can result in an extremely nice sleep. 

Loving what I had; the beer was smooth with a honey sweetness (from longan apparently) that kind of of complemented the bitterness. What I would really need would be some beer bites to perfect the experience. 

Burp! Almost got a second glass but was stopped by my dad, who doesn't drink. :( 

The awards; I am no beer connoisseur although they don't matter to me as everyone is entitled to their own preference. For me, as an example, I have a stronger liking in general for Japanese beer.
