Pale golden skunky smelling brew. I still can’t figure out why brewers go to all the trouble of brewing beer and use Green bottles. I guess they think their drinkers like skunks. I’m glad I only bought one (1) bottle.

This isn’t horrible considering. Tastes like a lot of other beer from China. Has that same buttery maltiness, dry and bitter, slightly overcarbonated, but remains clean.

12oz Bottle @ Navy Pier beer garden, surprised they had something I had not had before, It still sucked. Thin foamy head on a straw body. Nose-usual pale lager nose-stale hops, light skunk, dust. Taste-corn, water from a can of canned kernel corn, light lactic sourness, medium CO2, thin, light lotion. Not a great Pale Lager, but not a bad one either.

60cl, Morrisons, Inverness. Golden colour, skunky aroma, malty taste, a bit grassy. A bit watery also. Not great.

Taste 7/8 bottle 10/7. Looks: Golden yellow, no head really. Aroma: Skunky, sweet malt, mild piss odor, straw and grain. Taste: Spicy and banana ester at first, then weird body/ palate wash, burns the bottom of the tongue yet bores the top. Strange. Ehhh...not recommended. Will not purchase again.

Bottle 0.5 l. Pale yellow, corny, hayish hoppy nose. Flavor is very american. Sweet rice/corn flavor with kinda flavorful hops, not exactly bitter tho. Flavorful. Could be worse.

Hmmm... Pours yellow with a head that diminishes quickly. It is slightly carbonated and smells and later tastes a bit skunky. It is smooth though at times, especially when cold. This is a grainy corn like taste that seems to spoil on the tongue. Not a suggested drinker.

Pours pale, straw yellow. Aroma is surprisingly good. Not skunky, which is surprising for a Chinese beer in West Virginia. More crisp. Flavor...not too strong. Not bad though. Kind of bland...although somehow, very drinkable.
