Can. Dull straw colour. Thin head. Aroma is lightly grainy with some vague hop extract. Some malt body, but still a bit crisp. Off-dry finish, definitely more like a Japanese beer than a Chinese one.

Bottle brought and enjoyed in China. Labeled 10.5P with 3.7% I assume that this is the correct beer. The images looks identical to the one I had. Light fluffy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Clear light yellow like color. Aroma of mild malt (or rice like) notes. Hint of sour hoppy like feel. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Light sweet and bitter flavor. Light bitter finish. Nothing special here.

Can. a light golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has skunky notes of brewing cereal as well as some artificial sweetener. The flavor is skunky with notes of metal and brewing cereal. The body is light.

Can 35,5 cl. Courtesy of my cousin Martin. Clear, pale golden with a dense white head. Lightly sweet rice aroma. Medium body, unclean malt and brewing cereal with a strange and very unpleasant chemical tang. Some sulphur also. Subdued bitterness. 090609

35.5 cL can, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Metallic, slight chemical and cornish aroma. Metallic, cornish and slight vegetable like flavoured. Metallic finish.

<i>Canned. </i> Very pale yellow, no head. Fruit ysoapy and sweaty with some yeastiness and the vaguest touch of hops that gives it an oh so slight bitterness.
