Very pale yellow color. Fizzy white quickly dissipitating head. The nose is extremely skunked, I doubt one could find a fresh version outside of China. Also hints of slight grass and light sugar. The body has a light spritz at the beginning with a surprising light hop bitterness. Gets into some sugar at the close and finishes dry and sprtizy with just a touch of dust. I'm sure there must be better beers in China.

Clear pale yellow/ White, pillowy head. Light malt aroma (& slight skunk). Sugary body. Watery, light malt flavour. Very little bitterness.Somewhat harsh.

0.33 l bottle. My first beer from the east. Poured clear golden body with medium smaller head going down pretty fast. Aroma is quite strong, malty, some bread hops, too. Flavor is bitterish, quite light bodied and leaves watery impression. It is however different than other lagers I’ve tried, still it’s not from Europe... Medium carbonated, has average long and bitter finish with some very slight sourness. Goes down smoothly. Not necessary bad, but still in the array of very average or below.

Watery and bland. Not much to this one. In my opinion, better left alone.

12 oz bottle purchased at Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a clear yellow color with a thin white head. The aroma was grainy. The flavor was watery. Not a great beer.

This is almost clear. Watery and clean on the tongue. Definitely something there, but not sure what. Good with food, but not as the main course.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2008 Clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of bread, toast and skunk. Flavor is sweet with a little tangy bitterness.

Pale yellow with an aroma of grass and tea. Taste is same but lightly sweet, and watery.
