2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Green 600 ml bottle: Not much to go on aroma or taste-wise, it’s all so faint. Bright golden yellow body with a creamy white head. The aroma is corn, a trace of sweet malt, and some grass and flowers. The flavor is very light, malt with corn and some grass. Kind of an earthy finish to it. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Peoria, IL<font size=-1>
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: SEP 16, 2006 Dark gold body with a bright white head. The aroma has some fresh soy beans and flowers. There is a hint of green bell pepper. The taste has some light glazed donuts with some carrots and grass. This has some strong vegetable character with a little bit of dirt. Nothing offensive, but very bland.

Bottle. Pours thin gold with little head. Aroma is corn flakes. Flavor is sour grass with hop bits. Palate is average. I wasn’t expecting much, and I got it.

Clean lager. Very little flavor. Easy to drink, but nothing special. Just a standard larger IMO.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Enjoyed at a wedding party hosted by an Anheuser-Busch distributor in Mississippi. Hank hooked me up with a 16 oz bottle. Golden-straw pour with big carbonation. Standard light lager aroma. Easy grain flavors with hints of spicy hops and a relatively clean finish. Nothing exciting, but clean with no particularly off flavors. Very wet. While this was nothing I would ever buy, my drunken taste buds did not have a problem drinking a glass of this. Besides, this was probably the most unique brew available in Mississippi. You make due with what you’ve got.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2006 [Bottled] Pale golden, brief head. Light rice aroma. Distinct boiled vegetable flavour. Sweet, thin and extremely metallic with mellow mouthfeel..Rusty water finish. At least it’s somewhat soft.
Earlier Rating: 4/3/2004 Total Score: 2.1
Bottled. Pale golden with rich head. A clean lager with decently firm and soft mouthfeel and low bitterness. Some citric acid up front annoys.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
330ml can-pours a foamy white head that reduces to thin. Color is yellow. Aroma is sweet, grain. Taste follows. Fairly standard for the region. Dated 6/23.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled. A very pale lager with a sweet smell and taste. Not the worse lager ever but still quite boring
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
The best 'looking' beer I've seen from china (still quite a few to go). Harbin unfortunately is also the best tasting beer I've had in China. It's flavor is week and tries to make up for it with a slightly higher carbonation level than other chinese beers I've tasted (kingway, tsing tao) It's a beer that could (should?) have been good seeing it's german heratige. - (german settlers in china started breweries in harbin because of it's good water quality - at the time)). Chinese food almost demands a lager or pilsner (especially souther chinese and some of the more spicy shanghainese) and unfortunately the two major players for this title; Tsing Tao, and Harbin, just fall short of the mark. Hite (korean) is closer.

Note: If you can get this in the bottle instead of can it is a much better beer.
