486ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. Yugh - a cardboardy, cereal heavy and ugly pale lager. Very little carbonation. Tastes stale. Can’t find the BBE date. Not nice.

Bottle. Pale gold with a white foam. Aromas are grain and soap with some buttery and biscuit malts. Flavours are clean grain with hints of citrus and metal towards the finish. A bit thin in character. The bottle was nicely designed, though. My version was definately Chongqing Premium at 10.0p but with 4.4% alcohol.

12oz can-pours a thin white head with pale yellow color. Aroma is grain. Taste is grain, creamy, smooth. Mild carbonation. Standard for the region.

Golden, with delicate carbonation. Slightly spicy hop overlays very faint pale malt. Somewhat acidic finish with a hint of graininess. Decent balance but lacking in positive flavour traits.
