Pours copper wih a thin white head and sparse carbonation. Smells of earthy hops, pepper, perfume, light apple. Tastes of rice, pepper, some sweet malt. While watery and inoffensive, there’s nothing off in this beer and everything’s well balanced. Something I’d drink again with very spicy food to cleanse my palate. Not great, but worth the $1.79 price tag for the 600ml bottle.

Very nice head when poured but disipated very quickly. Nice color. Very mild and not really much of an after taste. It’s okay.

Very plain. Not offensive at all, but nothing to it really. Mild bitterness, light taste, not much of an aroma..

Pours a weak clear yellow with a soapy white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is weak and skunky. Taste is weak-sort of a watered down Rolling Rock. Worst beer I’ve had in some time.

this is apparently budweiser’s foray into the chinese market - it’s really not too bad - a bit of skunk and rice in the aroma, but despite the thin body it’s not offensive in any way. the skunky aroma isn’t apparent in the flavor, thankfully, so it tastes a bit better than i expected after smelling it. as far as widely-available chinese lagers go, i’ll stick to tsingtao.

Light Gold with White Head. Rice Aroma. Bit of the Skunk as Well. Rice, Light Grainy Malt...Very Light in All Means.. Perhaps a Good Brew for the Extreme Heat Days or with Sushi.

bottle - Pours pale gold with a thin head and a bubbly body. It smells of rice and malt. There’s not much flavor to this one at all. It has the dryness of the typical Asian pale lager and just very little there. Inoffensive I guess? That’s about all I can say for it. Not good.

Bottle. Poured a pale yellow color like a Budweiser with a white head. Tastes of sour grain and is lighly bitter. Nothing amazing here.
