gnoff (3559), Göteborg, Sweden Jan 20, 2007 (33 cl bottle at restaurant "Djingis Khan" in Stockholm, Sweden) Labeled 4.7%. Clear straw yellow color, white creamy head. Fruity and sweet malty scent with some marzipan. Thin watery malty taste. Low bitterness. hayduke (1618), Eureka, California, USA Jan 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured yellow with small white head and almost no lacing. Nose was very mild, mostly of rice. Some hops in flavor. Not much mouthfeel and no fiinish. Very bland. SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Jan 15, 2007 Bottle: Poured a golden yellow with a white head. The aroma was soft and grainy probably because of the rice ingredience used to make it. The flavor was a smooth pils like taste of grain. Worked pretty well with the spicy Chinese dish that I was eating. blinesam (233), USA Jan 11, 2007 A horrible copy of a hienkin, with off notes abound, just kinda tangy, almost bitter. Has a urine-like aroma. Pretty sure they use even lower quality ingredinents than bud. sinkhole (176), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jan 9, 2007 Bottle. Poured pale yellow with minimal head, overly carbonated. Aromas and tastes of grassy hops. Crisp clean finish thanks to watery lack of flavours. Not offensive and not memorable either. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Jan 7, 2007 Poured from bottle, very little head, but decent lacing. Pale yellow color. Not a lot of flavor, some spice, some sweetness, maybe lemon? It actually goes really well with spicy Chinese food...Wouldnt want to drink it alone though. BelgianBeerGal (1273), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Dec 30, 2006 Bottle. Not great but decent lager. Slight metallic taste to me. It was a good fit with spicy Chinese food. CigarsLoveBeer (153), Illinois, USA Dec 30, 2006 Bottle: Light, transparent straw-colored body. More hops than expected in the nose, with a hint of carmel. Mild malt sweetness that builds in the mouth. Then the hops hit, moreso than expected. Not great by any means, but better than most Asian lagers...
