Harbin Beer, the earliest Chinese beer, brewed in 1900 in the origin of the beer industry in China. With hundred years of infusion of China’s traditional culture Harbin Beer brings a pure good taste. Inspired by the Tradition and Culture of China’s Most Northern Province of Hellongjiang.

I think this one is a bit underrated. Sure, there’s nothing particularly interesting about it, but it’s a solid, well-balanced light lager with a decent amount of flavor. Pours medium gold, aroma of pale malt, whiff of hops. Taste is slight sweetness nicely balanced with a touch of bitterness. Clear, slightly crisp finish. Refreshing, basic.

Bottle, as Harbin Lager. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small white head. Fruity nose with some hops. A chemical whiff too. Pretty uninteresting flavor, low on both malts and hops, but far from awful. Fruits and hints of bittering hops both initially and in the end. Medium to thin on the palate. A drinkable one, but definately not a favorite. 091223

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, grass. Flavour is sweet, hop, malt, grass. Boring beer.

Well, this looks like a lager, or Ginger Ale maybe. Scent is musky. Taste is colored water......guess I just have had ginger ale......

Strong, urine scent with a typical pale yellow color. Pour comes out with a medium white head. Thin body, not much to the taste. Waste of my time.
