Can. I first had this on a bus on the way back from a factory in Shenzhen. I was thirsty and I appreciate how the beer has water in it. Other than that it has a very mild flavor that tastes of corn, metal and bitter. After taking several gulps to quench my thirst I had to make a decision of whether I gulp it down and toss the can or just ditch it. Either way I wasn’t going to finish this awful beer.

Not the Shenzhen version, but the Qingdao version. Straw colour, light, jasmine-like note in the aroma. Fairly neutral flavour profile struggles to make any impact at all on my palate.

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2004 Canned. Pale yellow, brief head. Aroma of cardboard and rice. Sweet and clean, no bitterness. Fairly thin.
