Man it took some work trying to figure out what I bought here. The beer pours a very pale golden with a big white head that just can’t wait to dissapear. The aroma is seven dead skunks and some rice krispies cereal along with a light toastiness. The tastes pretty bad, lots of rice and alcohol harshness dominate the flavor followed by some apple, a fair level of sweetness, and I swear just in the back there a bit of rosemary. This is likely one of the worst I’ve had in some time. I swear while casually drinking this with dinner I enjoyed it one time, I bet it was something spicy I was eating.

I have no idea if this is the right Yanjing type or not, my bottle only says "YanjingBeer" on it, no other descriptor. Lemon yellow color, metallic lemon scent. Tastes like soda water with day old beer from last night’s party added. Bleh, avoid.

Looks like beer, taste a tad old. This has that malty sweetness, or corn like flavor beers get when they have hit the sun and fridge too many times, not very good, but it is "green food" at least, so your set if your Logans Run.

Pours yellow with a fully receding white head. Notes of light malt, corn and coarse grain husk. Thin bodied with lively carbonation.

Pale golden body with a thin, diminishing white head. Weak aroma of corn and chemicals. Flavor is weak grainy and watery with no bitterness and short finish.

21-Mar-2010 - Euro Pils light sweet aroma. Clear amber colour, ordinary head that diminishes quickly and no lacing. Light sweet and dusty stale hop flavour. Finishes with a tangy hop and low bitterness.

Closer to water and cheaper-tasting than many American macros. I’m not entirely sure that this is the right entry. The bottle only says Yanjing Beer without any other identifying information. The appearance is drab and lifeless. It’s a light yellow fizzy beer with a rapidly dissipating white head. The aroma is corny and sweet, perhaps a bit skunky. The flavor is similar. It’s watery and lacks much flavor besides a sweet, flat malt character. There’s a very light hop bitterness in the finish, but it really doesn’t add much. In my opinion, this beer is on par with a mediocre American light macro. There’s not much else to say about it.
