The beer pours a luminous gold color, the head average and a creamy white, as it quickly settles, the lace forms a thin coating upon the glass, nose is all malt, lightly sweet and crisp, start has a fair malt profile with the top light to moderate in feel. Finish has a customary acidity, the hops barely there, dry aftertaste, drinkable but just barely.

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.

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.
