I really enjoyed this beers smell and flavor. The labels were always a little bit off, but that doesn’t make a good beer anyways. This is number 2 on my list of great beers.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

(04.04.06) 640 mL green bottle purchased at 7-11 store near the White Swan Hotel, Guangzhou, China. 4.3% ABV. Poured clear light yellow with large short lived white head. Good carbonation. Grassy skunk aroma reminiscent of Corona beer. Light malt sweetness and nutty flavor. Dry finish with light malt fade. Light to medium bodied. No discernable hop presence. Yet another generic malty Chinese lager that goes well with food. Nothing special about this beer.

Can 50cl @Paris Store, a clear yellow beer with low head. Aroma is on dry malt very lager like, low body, some dusty hops, basic lager.

296ml Bottle @ hotel Shangzhou, China. 4,3% 11°Plato. Golden blond coloured with some medium carbonation and a very short white head. Grainy sweet and short malty hinted aroma. Medium to slightly wattery palate. Finish is sweet grainy, with a rather short dry grainy ending. Medium.

Golden body but the head looked pretty poor. Aroma is sweet and malty. The taste is better than the other two although not by much, metallic, corn thin body. Tsingtao Premium 4.5%

(355 ml can brought home from China by a relative)

Can.Pours pale yellow with a white head.Aroma is milky with some notes of malt and grassy hops.Flavor malty with some bitterness and herbal hops.Medium to thin body, lively carbonation.Average pale lager.

Very grassy nose, kind of funky. Hints of malt. I think this bottle has expired, as fine precipitate floats in an otherwise clear, yellow hue. Flavours are soapy, with rice, yeast and hints of malt. Some candy sweetness. Meh...

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of my cousin Martin. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Some malt in the nose. Light-bodied, sweetish rice accents, a little cardboard and no bitterness. 090609
