Aug 8, 2006 Bottle: Very pale yellow with a dinkus white head. Although not listed in the ingredients, I picked of a whiff of corn syrup sweetness in the faint aroma. Mayhaps a touch of floral hops. Not in the taste, though. It was more reminiscent of the aroma belched out from the Argo plant outside of the city (Chicago), corn byproducts, a hit of starch. It finishes on a watery, sweet note with a dash of metallica. <font size=-4>Imbibed at a The LoSBD session, contributed from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 cellar. Thanks for the country!<font size=-1>

Aug 8, 2006 I’m between a rock and a hard place here as <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beerimages/full_size/ bottle of Taiwan Beer has the ’Gold Medal, Monde Selection Bruxelles’ labeling similar to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/gold-medal-taiwa Medal Taiwan Beer, yet the ABV listed is 4.5% as opposed to 5%. As I recently got reprimanded for confusing some Polish beers that were off by 0.3°P, I’m going to go with the ABV (and the majority of ratings).
Pallid yellow with a small white head that fades to scum. Mild grassiness to the aroma. Flavor starts out as simple nothingness, progressing to a non-descript adjuncty flavor with a bit of sugars on the tongue. In all seriousness, when was the last time you heard the words "Made in Taiwan" and thought "Quality"?

Jul 30, 2006 What a great surprise to have this one (new country!) offered at a Vietnam Airlines flight between Hanoi and Hong Kong! Pours clear golden with a fizzy snow white head. Weak hop and flower aroma with a note of citrus - not a lot going on. Thin and a bit harsh in the flavor, light malt and some hop with a skunky note. Not very good at all.

Jul 24, 2006 (can on EVA airline flight) pale gold, large white head. Little aroma. Typical mega-lager taste with some hops in the finish.

Jul 15, 2006 Bottle sampled at the Chinese buffet, "CB" in Chino,ca. a pretty watery, plain pale lager, but still had abit of hops, and a little grassy, with a hint of sweetness. Not terrible in anyway, but still better than bud in my opinion. Bottle seemed very fresh.

Jul 13, 2006 Large bottle from the Chinese grocery store. Cool post-modern label, too bad the beer doesn’t live up to its promise. Lots of carbonation, crystal clear piss color.

May 31, 2006 Can. Pours golden with a decent whte head. Aroma of grain, corn, and sweet malts. Flavor is bland, corn, grain, slight hops. Thin body.

Jan 29, 2006 LCBO can from 2 years ago. I forgot I had this in my "beer cellar". Let’s see how time aged this. Sparkling body with a bleached white head. Grainy tin aroma, corn and minerals too. Sweet malty corn flavour, with some grain. There were chuncks in this? Strange. I hope it doesn’t make me ill. Ok.
