bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Jul 7, 2007 Hint of burnt rubber, along with grassy hop. The "skunk" was gone in moments. Medium gold color with a white head that filmed immediately. Sort of a barley malt sweetness, not thinking corn or rice at all. Unfortunately it is a little light on the bitter, and the finish does seem to have a hint of skunk. I’m a bit sensitized to that sort of aroma, because I used to work with mercaptans. Methyl mercaptan exploded all over me once. Whether it was light blemished or the skunk is natural, it is not a bad beer. Heck of a lot more character than many lagers. AlKHall (161), West Hartford, Connecticut, USA Jul 7, 2007 Not as bad as you might think for a pilsner type beer. I mean they ship it all the way from China and it has spring water from the Laushan mountain.....Actually its prob brewed in MO. IT has a little differnt type flavor to it than usual macros- not better jsut differnt... unibaren (145), 8000 Århus C, Denmark Jul 5, 2007 Light buttery aroma with hints of malt and hops. Very pale colour with averege head and carbonation (for a pilsner that is). Light fresh taste, with some hops in the aftertaste. An ok (chinese) euro-pilsner, that would have been very boring had it not been for the halfway decent hoppy aftertaste. wilderthanyou (409), Guelph, Ontario, Canada Jul 3, 2007 Pales a very pale golden colour, with no head and a white ring. Aroma of malts. Flavour of malt, malt, a little dash of hops, and malt. Nothing offensive really. Just really malty. Refreshing i suppose, goes alright with strong flavoured foods. But there are much much better beers out there. Glazed9884 (207), USA Jun 30, 2007 xxx not very good, just wanted to get a china beer into mycollection. and stop with the green bottles. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jun 27, 2007 Beer 100 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/21/06 @ A Chinese food Restaurant in the Hamburg train station food court. Nothing special except drinkable as always. Chapel (329), Levittown, New York, USA Jun 20, 2007 Updated: Aug 6, 2007This was an exciting beer for me as it was one of the first I drank while exploring the world of beer. Poured from a bottle. It pours fairly golden with a faintly tan thin head that doesn’t vanish too quick. What really stands out in my mind about it is the palate. It almost seems to grip the back of your mouth. I enjoyed it, but I think more so because it was something new. OleR (2008), Oslo, Norway Jun 18, 2007 Bottle (4,5% abv). Tiny white head, straw yellow color. Light sweet malts and mild hayish hops in the aroma. Clean and neutral taste. A little semi-sweet fruits and some noteable maltsweetness. Light body. Mild and inoffensive. Not bad, only an Asian that eager to please.
