Wie auch sonst bei asiatischem Bier gibt es eigentlich keine Schaumkrone, was dem GEschmack aber glücklicherweise nicht schadet. Schmeckt wässrig herb mit angenehm langen Nachgeschmack. Für chinesiches Bier sehr gut! Test vom 21.9.2004, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,10,8,9,11,9 - 8,80

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2011 Nice sweet lager that has more flavour than the usual European ones. Most Chinese restaurants serve it.

A: The beer pours a pale straw color with lots of visible carbonation and a short lived white head. S: Lots of corn and rice aromas to it, which isn’t really surprising. A light/pale malt aroma and a little bit of flowers and grass. Minimal yeast and bread notes. T: A light bready flavor with a surprising amount of malt flavor. Light bitterness and grassy notes with just a hint of skunk. Sweet grain, particularly from the adjuncts. M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: A light and easy to drink beer. Not really my favorite, but it goes well with a Chinese meal.

20110528 Home (4,7% bottle from Lidl): A yellow beer with a good thin white hed. Aroma: in the beginning some malt, sweet and hops. But this only for a very short period. Taste: some sweetness and a slightly bitterness in the aftertaste. A beer with less body. Typical for a beer which is produced with rice. Later is the taste a little sticky from the sweetmess. Maybe you must drink this beer very cold......

Not really much at all in the way of aroma or flavor. Reminiscent of Dos Equis or Corona, although more like Corona because it has a nasty flavor edge to it.

I was really looking forward to this, since I’m eager to try different countries. So I found this Chinese beer a few weeks ago. Yesterday was the day to try and my god... Poured out in a regular lager glass, forming little head, smelling skunky and looking pale yellow. Almost light green. Flavour is weak, some metallic subtaste in it. Strange, because it comes out of the bottle. This is defintely not my favourite beer, more like one of my worst. Too bad."

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2012 Almost as bad as corona. Although the rice version. Has pretty much nothing but rice and corny shit in smell or taste, reminding me of corona. Crap

Bottle. A clear light yellow, pours with a small/medium white head. Aroma w. notes of hops and metal. Taste is corn, metal and hops, a bit bitter. Quite watery, unbalanced.
