Harbin Beer

Brewed by Harbin Beer Company (Anheuser-Busch)
Style: Pale Lager
Harbin, China

Sampled in the BrewMaster’s Club at Busch Gardens Williamsburg on 07/10/2008. Very clear pale yellow body with a small off-white head. Sweet grain and light noble hop aroma. Sweet grain flavor with some more light hop hins. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.

short notes, old tasting. had in bottles in philadelphia. too much carb in the body and a pretty standard lager nose/taste.

20.3 oz green bottle-A clear yellow with a loose two finger head. Aroma of sweetness, citrus, and floral. Taste of nothing but sweetness and corn with a floral finish. Better than expected.

a bit fizzy at first this is a brew in the Chinese tradition and that is to say it has a purpose. in all fairness that purpose fits in to the Western style of eating and of course beer drinking quite appropriately. this is a pleasant beer with a decent aroma of fruit. the flavors seem appropriate and real enough. as lagers go it holds it’s own quite nicely in my book. the beer fits in with food in general and for that matter it is to be respected. decent body well balanced refreshing and clean it is enjoyable. it maintains a good beer quality and still has it’s own identity.

bottle, yellow color with faint sweet nose, taste is light hop with decent floral crisp finish

Bottle. Pour is a golden color with a bit of a white head and aromas that at first are kind of skunky hops and later fade to adjunct malt. Flavor has a bit of a Heineken feel to it with the hops presence and then gives way to sweet adjunct that bordes on nastiness.

Definitely lacks flavor was very common pours a nice yellow gold there is just nothing to say about it don’t get me wrong it does refresh but there are just better choices for the money i’d grab tsingtao if you want to add china to your list

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.
