Skunk aromas. Crisp and slightly sweet upfront with a sour finish. Doesn’t taste as bad as it smells... Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 29, 2006 Golden color with small white head. Nice lager aroma of malts and a bit of skunk. The flavor was refreshing and smooth. Malty notes to go along with some noble hops. It leaves a pleasant malt aftertaste that isn’t too sweet. Other than the small skunk smell I couldn’t detect a fault in this beer. LordBeamish (144), Boozetown, Ontario, Canada

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 13, 2008 bottle, label does not match the picture at all, but the imported beer claimed to be a tsingtao beer acc. to my notes. i probably spelled tsingtao wrong, as no tsingtao beer exists.. sampled at a chinese restaurant in alcudia spain.
aroma-mainly hoppy, sweet notes behind that.
appearance-yellow , thick white head.
flavor-not very strong flavor. sweet faint hops, sawdusty sweet notes. even though very weak, it is nicely balanced. chimpscampee (566), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2006 A bit of acidic grainy wheat/straw alcohol bite. More flavour than raters are giving it credit for (or maybe it just the chinese food aroma that has given me thirst and hunger) unclemattie (2437), Georgia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2007 Green 12oz bottle. Bright yellow and very clear. Aroma of water and some hop. Body is very light and refreshing. Well balanced. The Chinese sure did make an inexpensive mock-up of A Premium Lager with this one. exceeded my expectations! daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2006 I’d put this one and Heineken in the same class as far as quality goes. The aroma is predominantly metallic with a hint of lime. Pours out golden yellow with a rapidly fading head. Tastes great, one of the best features of this beer: a well-balanced iron, hops and biiter lime concoction that is borderline skunky. Perfect balance of carbonation with the taste. patty26 (95), New York, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 4, 2007 I’m pretty surprised how much I liked this beer. Light gold pour with a moderate head. No lacing. Zesty fruit aroma with a hint of hops. Malty fruity taste with a pleasant finish. Went very well with the dim sum.
