(Canned, at least 3.6% ABV) Clear, pale golden color with a small, slightly lacy head. Acidic, corny-malty aroma. with some strange chemical-glue feel. Acidic-rice-malty flavor with very mild hops in the short finish. Corny aroma in the empty glass. Pretty light-bodied, yet not watery palate with medium, a bit foamy carbonation. A boring bulk lager with a chemical aroma and somewhat cleaner flavor.

Can. Light yellow coloured pale lager, some little carbonation and a small white head. Sweet malty aroma, grainy touches. Medium to light palate. Finish is little bitter, with a sweet ending.

(04.08.06) 355 mL can purchased at the Beatrice market, Guangzhou, China. 10oP. Poured clear straw colored with large short lived white head. Sweet malt aroma. Light bodied that starts dry with light malt sweetness and malty corn flavors. Finished dry with malty aftertaste. No discernable hop presence. A typical generic Chinese lager. Nothing particularly memorable about this beer.

This won a bronze at the World Beer Cup in Aspen in June 02, in a category called Tropical Lagers,light. Nothing special, a mainstream lager with slightly more malt then average. Consequently slightly more body as well.
