[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.

Bottled. Pale golden with rich head. A clean lager with decently firm and soft mouthfeel and low bitterness. Some citric acid up front annoys.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is maize, rice, hops and some notes of grass. Flavour is sweet malts, some grains and mild notes of rubber.

Ha! Call it Harbin, brew it in Wuhan. Inspired by the culture of Heilongjiang...yes I can taste the ice and snow sculpture festival right now. I can see it in the dull yellow colour and smell it in the generic eurohop nose. Sweetish, clean with saazy accents and straw malts. Way too much flavour to be inspired by Chinese brewing culture.

A Mes rate. Yet another shower of bottled shite to avoid cocktails. Maybe I should have ordered a Mojito... Pale gold with an oily film topping. Very corny, slightly sticky. Dull as hell. No flavour. Arse.

600ml bottle. Interesting packing. Botle labeled 20070601. Poured a medium and clear golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grains, corn, and a light grassiness. Tastes of some malty sweetness, corn and grainy. Thin body.

This was particularly rubbish. Aroma is scunky hopps and sweet lager malts. Taste is sweetish lager malts with some herbal grassy hops which just remind me of miller genuine draught.

Bottle... Clear yellow lager with a large, frothy, white head. Decent retention. Herbal, spicy hop aroma with some subtle biscuity malt. Perfectly balanced flavor, much like seltzer water. Unoffensive. Almost medium-bodied with a spritzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp, clean finish. Thanks to Mark at Virginia Touch for providing the bottle!

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.
