Another in a long line of relatively indistinguishable foreign lagers. Notable mostly for its herbal hop aroma, gradual malt sweetness giving way to tingly hop bitterness.

yellow pour with no head just some bubbles on top. very skunky, malty smell. good thickness and would go nice with a spicy meal quite well.

Yellow pour with extremely small, white head. Malty, almost in the same vein as a Heineken. Not bad.

Pours clear pale yellow with a white frothy head. Aromas of grains and sugar, maybe a small amount of hops. The flavor is very mild with cereal grains being the most notable. This beer was actually much better than I anticipated it to be.

Nothing terrible about this beer, just nothing outstanding. Clean like Heineken without the bite on the finish. Other than that, nothing to write home about.

bottle - pale yellow beer with no head. Cardboard in a thin aroma. Flavour is watery and little bit boring. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation.

smells fairly gross and the palate is quite awful. But it’s one of those beers that isn’t very bad when you’re eating, but not something to look forward to really. China has many better beers.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pint glass. Appearance: Light, clear golden-yellow with a minuscule head. Aroma: Sweet grains, hay & straw, and very light apple. Slightly skunky from the green bottle. Taste: Too sweet grainy malts with light straw and very faint metallic hops on the finish. Palate: Moderate carbonation, light body. Should have a drier finish. Overall: Meh. Kind of reminds me of Heineken, but maybe a little sweeter. Fortunately, it doesn’t get really bad as it warms, as Heineken does.
