Bottled(330ml). -From the local China restaurant. Pale yellow coloured, small airy white head, dusty corn nose. Weak malty, watery, some notes of rice and nothing else. Selenium riched...Yeah, yeah...

0.33 l bottle, courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing. This was funny enough already before tasting, a beer enriched with that! Damn! So it poured some ordinary pale golden body with small head. Weaker, corny and rice aroma, some fake hops maybe. But the flavor was really the bad thing! Strange note reminding to metallicity (or alcohol) here, with rice/corny base without anything pleasant here. But its very thin body helps it to become drinkable (even then, barely) which is a huge plus here. No finish or some ugly half second of something...forget it. Stupid concept and stupid beer, but can be swallowed somehow.

0.33l bottle purchased at a Chinese restaurant in Zagreb near my place. What a find. What a name. What a concept. Stunning. Poured a pale yellow body with a tiny white head that went away slowly. Lazy carbonation. The nose is as bad as expected... almost foul. Rice and alcohol (not something you would expect to find in a 3.1% lager). Extremely watery taste, papery rice and that is all. Blah. Not all that offensive but probably stands in a dictionary under crap.
