The nicely wrapped bottle was what made me buy it. Light aroma, medium-dark yellow colour, small disappearing head, not a strong taste with hints of a wheaty flavour. Nothing special but not bad.

Gold color with a thin head. Aroma of rice, dusted with moldy hops. Corny taste, finishing with a drop of skunk. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Standard gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma and flavor of malt and grain. Thin palate. Nothing much going on with this.

We just recently got this on our order pad in Morrisons Fleet so of course I had to order some in. Today I put them on the shelf and of course bought one for myself so I can tell customers about it (Good Excuse). The look of the bottle apealed to me straight away as it’s very eye catching. The tast is not as strong as you thought it would be which is very suprising. First taste of it I wasn’t to sure but a few mouthfuls and im impressed by it. I wouldn’t class it as a regular drink but if I saw it out in a pub then this would be one of those I would drink. Price was about around about £1.80. This is a drink you would have every so often, not all the time. I would recomended this to any of my customers

12 oz green bottle Harbin Brewing Company - Wuhan China. Clean pale malt aroma with touch of spiciness. Clear yellow/light gold with small white head. Light spiciness and pale malt flavor. Dry finish. Light thin body. Okay light lager.

Just like Tsing Tao, only not as offensive. No evidence of hops, barley any malt. Monster head! No lacing. Grassy taste like Tsing Tao. Skip or run past it, just like a homeless person begging for change, if you stop they got you.

12oz bottle. this is the worst piece of shit i’ve ever tasted from Asia. Tsing Tao is not too good, but this is like Tibetan yak piss. i’ll take Tsing Tao over this any day.

Clear golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of fresh malt and a tiny bit of hops, coupled with a metallic scent. Medium-bodied; Fresh malt in the taste with a little fruity tang and nuttiness. Aftertaste shows a little more complexity with a bit of alcohol, strong malt and good clear low a.a. hops. Overall, not a horrible beer - much cleaner than Tsingtao, with some decent flavours compared to other chinese beers. I sampled this 600 mL wrapped bottle from Ping/Charlie Chiang’s in Arlington (Shirlington) during the 2008 Opening Ceremony to the Olympics on 08.August.2008.
