The beer pours a luminous gold color, the head average and a creamy white, as it quickly settles, the lace forms a thin coating upon the glass, nose is all malt, lightly sweet and crisp, start has a fair malt profile with the top light to moderate in feel. Finish has a customary acidity, the hops barely there, dry aftertaste, drinkable but just barely.

a bit fizzy at first this is a brew in the Chinese tradition and that is to say it has a purpose. in all fairness that purpose fits in to the Western style of eating and of course beer drinking quite appropriately. this is a pleasant beer with a decent aroma of fruit. the flavors seem appropriate and real enough. as lagers go it holds it’s own quite nicely in my book. the beer fits in with food in general and for that matter it is to be respected. decent body well balanced refreshing and clean it is enjoyable. it maintains a good beer quality and still has it’s own identity.

Bottle. Pour is a golden color with a bit of a white head and aromas that at first are kind of skunky hops and later fade to adjunct malt. Flavor has a bit of a Heineken feel to it with the hops presence and then gives way to sweet adjunct that bordes on nastiness.

Green 600 ml bottle: Not much to go on aroma or taste-wise, it’s all so faint. Bright golden yellow body with a creamy white head. The aroma is corn, a trace of sweet malt, and some grass and flowers. The flavor is very light, malt with corn and some grass. Kind of an earthy finish to it.
