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.

If it differs in any way and doesn’t match the other entries under the brewer, please send in a bug report with the alcohol percentage, degrees plato (important!), the GTIN and preferably a link to a picture of both the front and the back label so that we can set up an entry.

Deep golden colour, very thin white head. The nose is dominated by grainy adjuncts, this is also found on the palate. The finish is quite sweet....a bog standard mass produced style of lager.

emerica56 (600) - Bristol, Rhode Island, USA - AUG 21, 2009
As soon as i open it up and take a smell i can see right away why it rates so low. The color is a clear gold with a mild malty smell and a thin white head. The flavor is a bit bland and watery and has no hop flavor at all. Overall it is not good and could use improvement, like more hop flavor.
