Appearance: This is it beer in fact? The previous Chinese beers I’ve had, had some head at least, aren’t so hazy and so flat in carbonation, this one seems to be the most popular but I start to think when I look at it if it really isn’t a beer of the worst quality. It is totally the same beer but in fact it different in their name as the same sensation can be applied to other poor Chinese beers.
Aroma: Some accidity plus cane sugar, very weak and poor, no hops, no malt, almost non existant, it is a waste of time to drink it.
Flavour: Very similar to water, a total industrail swill, very cane and total failure denoting only totally watered down adjuncts like cron and rice. Horrible nasty, poor aftertaste of cane sugar mixed with barley carbonated industrial water.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is weak, this beer really drives me creazy.

Pours a pale yellow with white head. This beer tastes awful, but the aroma is even worse. I don’t know what it is (rotten vegetables?) but it’s strong and potent. It reminds me of when you try beer for for the first time and you’re all like "eeewww, gross beer!" before you discover that there actually is god beer out there.

Not bad; a hint of a bitter aftertaste but it quickly disappears. An easy drinker.

Very pale body and lifeless head. Drinkable, but smells very skunky, some butter and hop taste. Think Corona for sure.

Bottle. Pours gold with a small fizzy head. Smells of grain and small malts. Tastes of very light grain or malt, and a very light spicey hops. Although its very light on smell and taste, its very good and worth trying. Nice stuff.
