Yanjing 11º Premium

Brewed by Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co.
Style: Pale Lager
Beijing, China

Pours a pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, floral, rice, and a hint of some peppery hops. Flavor is honey, nice floral notes, and some spicy hops.

Very dry, no aftertaste at all, an interesting experience.

(03.30.06) 630 ml green bottle purchased at Mei Fu Tian Restaurant, Beijing, China. Poured clear yellow with small white head. Average carbonation. Faint skunk and grass in the nose. Light bodied Chinese pale lager that starts with light malt sweetness with malt/corn flavor. Finishes dry with light malt fade. Compared to Yanjing 10oP and Yanjing 12oP Extra, all three tasted pretty much the same but the Yanjing 11 oP was relatively drier and crisp tasting and it went very well with Chinese food. This beer was the best of all three Yanjing beers.

this beer gave me a headache not the best beer from china. very bitter in taste. the taste also is very blan or plain. no head and lacing with this beer too.

Bottle at Plan B. Clear yellow - white head. Citrus, light hoppy, corn, light malty, freshness, clean, light crispy. OK.

I have no idea if this is the right beer, all my bottle says is "yanjing beer" and ratebeer does a piss poor job of giving us information to differentiate the different listings. This poured yellow and had a white head at one point but settles completely 100% headless. Nose is crisp with notes of old lime, wheat and mellow lager yeast. Soft grains and wheat dominate the clean, mellow flavors with hints of citrus splash in the finish. Actually, its fairly clean for the style and I like the distinctive lemony/lime notes in the finish. Not much else to say.

Bottled "Yanjing Beer." The aroma is disappointing but not off style. It has latex and grass hops with rice and malted barley. The appearance is pale gold with a head that is not impressive. The flavor is like the aroma but much better than expected. The palate is thin but refreshingly so. Overall a crisp refreshing beer. I just don’t like the latex hops used in it. Otherwise this would be a very decent lager. But certainly it is better than most that I have had from China.

12 oz can-pours a foamy white head, quickly dissipates. Color is clear yellow with plenty of effervescence. Aroma is grain. Taste is grain and a champagne taste and feel (of the inexpensive type).
