Bottle from Limerick Beer and Wine. Pale gold pour, with ricey malt, slight hopcitrus in the nose. Watery palate, with pale malty flavor, mild honey sweetness, and some hops. Nothing terribly offensive here, but nothing to ramp up the score any higher either.

Just another Chinese, lager beer, without much to tell about it, only a little bitter.

600 ml. green bottle, with a white foam overwrap. Freshness date on back label. Poured out a bright, clear yellow, with a minimal white head. Aromas are of rice, grains, slight hops, lager yeast. Flavors are of rice, yeast, some hops. Thin body & mouthfeel. Not completely offensive, but not great either. Tastes like regular old Budweiser to me.

Gold with a white head. Hop and biscuity malt aroma. Taste is spicy and slightly citric. Hoppy finish. Too gassy to be enjoyable.

The bottle tricked me, I thought this might be decent but in my quick overview I didnt notice the imported from China part (are there any good chinese beers?). Pours gold, smells like rancid hops. Tastes a little bitter but not much else in the flavor category. Its best to just not drink this one.

Bottle. Pours clear gold, with a decent amount of fluffy carbonated head. Skunky corn and malts in the nose. Stingy malts and corn, flavor-wise. Drinkable, but that’s only if you’re desperate for a buzz.

This beer went down with very little flavor. Had a sweet corn taste but it didn’t do anything for me I was expecting more from it especially because of the cool wrap thing around the bottle. Drink it if you have nothing else to drink!
