COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Filtered bottle.
Ingredients: Two-row malt, European and Chinese “Qindao Dahua” hops, rice, and German yeast.
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.

NOTE: Under this entry, rate ONLY exported Harbin that roughly matches the ABV and local Harbin that matches it completely. 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.

hopscotch (7285) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 16, 2006
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!

bhensonb (7131) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 31, 2006
Aroma of very light malt and noticable carbonation. Pale gold with a decent tiny bubble white head. Other than carbonation and a very light malty sweetness, there’s not much here. The folks at A-B have got to be proud.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 15, 2008
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.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 3, 2010
Bottle @ pre-GBBF shindig, August 2009. Pleasant pale gold appearance. Lively carbonation. Clean enough. There is a slight adjunct edge but it doesn’t overwhelm the pale malt. An innocuous but not unpalatable pale lager.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 1, 2007
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.

Tmoney99 (6892) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 30, 2007
Bottle 12 oz from Wild Oats, Cincinnati. Poured clear light amber with large white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Heavy grassy aroma. Light body with little texture. Small light bitter flavor with little grassy finish ofr short duration. Below average brew.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 18, 2007
A pale lager with a thick creamy white head, which receedes quickly. A perfumey corn adjunct aroma, grainy. In mouth, a crisp malt with corn, no hops, however, rather refreshing. Bought at CJs, Potsdam, NY.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, grass. Flavour is sweet, hop, malt, grass. Boring beer.
