Golden with an aroma, that has notes of straw and malt. The flavour is non-offending, slightly sweet with notes of malt and a light hoppy bitterness. 2128

Only slight fruity aroma. Apple and orange in the taste. Just a bit sour and a bit sharp. No noticeable finish.

bottle, label does not match the picture at all, but the imported beer claimed to be a tsingtao beer acc. to my notes. i probably spelled tsingtao wrong, as no tsingtao beer exists.. sampled at a chinese restaurant in alcudia spain. aroma-mainly hoppy, sweet notes behind that. appearance-yellow , thick white head. flavor-not very strong flavor. sweet faint hops, sawdusty sweet notes. even though very weak, it is nicely balanced.

Cheap yellow gold color with a white head and little to no lacing. Cereal grains in aroma and taste. Slight grassy hops. Weak palate. Not offensive...just a mild summery brew.

Bottle, ABV 4,5%: Colour is light golden. NOt much head. Has a hoppy aroma. Flavour is hoppy and a bit sweet. Dosn’t have much bitterness for a pilsener. Very refreshing.

Green bottle, long journey, ’nuff said! Ok, ok. Pale yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. A touch lightstruck, therefore, the aroma is a bit skunked. The flavor isn’t unpleasant, but has strong notes of corn. Short, crisp, clean finish. Goes decently with raw fish, but probably wouldn’t stand up well on its own.

Bottle. Standard beer experience, just a little sweeter. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. A little citrusnote in aro,ma. Short finish.

(bottle) Clear yellow/straw colour with a medium frothy white head. Weak malty aroma, slightly skunky. Sweetish flavour, medium body, somewhat crispy mouthfeel. Starts a bit sweetmalty turning into a low and short hoppy, slightly perfumed finish. This one is not that bad and I can imagine to have it with tasty/spicy (southern) chinese food, but I would prefer a sweet Riesling wine with a well-balanced sweetness-acidity proportion from Germany or Austria….and believe me or not: my best friend I had in the Kindergarten near Frankfurt/Main (greetings to Udo Krick !) is one of the grandsons of the founder of the brewery during Germanys former colonial times.
