Can. A clear, pale straw colored drink topped by a thin layer of white bubbles. Pineapple in syrup and pineapple candy in the aroma. The flavor is pretty much the same, with a good dash of white sugar, all the way to the rather short finish. Thin and watery. Sort of nice flavor, but way too much sugary pineapple. Ends up being rather bad, and boring as well. 100409

355 ml can with a fantastic design; you know immediately that this is some kind of skunky artificial pineapple product - it does not say so much about beer, and that make sense after tasting this. The body is ultra pale golden or something utra pale anyway, hm maybe a bit like slightly polluted water. If you act fast, you might catch a glimpse of a thin white head. The aroma is strong, hermetic pineapple and nothing else. Flavor is sweet, artificial pineapple (what a surprise) with just a tiny little hint of acid. Talking about this artificial lemon acid flavor you might find in a Radler, but less noticeable. The finish is sweet and sticky and lasts much longer than you want. Thanks to Geokkjer for bringing this treasure all the way from China.

Can 330 ml.Pours clear golden with small white head.Aroma of pineapple and malt.Flavor is pineapple juice with some malt.Thin body ,medium carbonation.Beer?

Pours a straw yellow color with a white head. Aroma is sweet fruity pineapple juice and a note of honey. Flavor is some sweet maltiness, honey, and overwhelming pineapple.

355 ml can. Thanks (I think) to my sister-in-law for this brew. Very pale yellow with a white fast fading head. Sweet pineapple with a hint of pale malt behind it. The pineapple seems fairly fresh and bright smelling. No real hop character at all. Seems like carbonated pineapple malta... could have been much worse.

this was terrible. pineapple and beer are two things that should be served seperately.

(can - Beijing) Pale yellow, fizzy head. Strong pineapple aroma. Flavor is relatively mild pineapple. Slightly sweet.

[Canned, 0.6-2.5%] Pale yellow, extremely brief fizzy head. Aroma of pineapple and metal. Very sweet with thin, sticky mouthfeel. Besides the sweetened canned pineapple it is dominated by metal and stale vegetables. I didn’t really know how to make Yanjing beers taste worse, but thanks for letting me know...

(Can) Pours a lightly hazy yellow with a spare white head. Aroma of metallic and canned pineapple. Flavor of pineapple juice and coconut.

355ml can
Purhased at 7-Eleven in Beijing. Pours very pale yellow with a white fizzy head that is gone in an instant. The aroma of pineapple will fill the room. Tastes like pineapple. This is not a fruit that was meant to be mixed with beer. I took 2 drinks and poured out the rest. Awful.
