Buttery diactyl, and sweet corn aroma. Taste was that of sweet malts, possibly some corn as well, and finishing very lightly hoppy. Sully (1367), Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, Australia

Unlike many others I actually don’t mind this. It is only to be consumed with Chinese food and preferably in their restaurants, not with take-away. I agree that it simetimes has a goss odour but often in Australia it is fresh and therefore not lightstruck. the most recent foray with this was last Saturday at the Sharkfin Restaurant in Melbourne’s Chinatown. After a day at the races where the stinky boys consumed about 10 Carlton Draughts followed by a couple of Belgians in our hotel room before the footy, this was not a bad drop. A more serious review may be less kind so let’s just leave it at that. lasonovich (151), Australia

There are a lot worse beers out there, it was kind of light and refreshing without any huge flavour. A bit on the dull side and not much head. It isn’t going to knock your socks off, but its probably a lot better than most Chinese beers. JonMoore (1561), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England

There is definitely something going on with the rice in there. Clean hoppy taste with light maltiness. I was thirsty when I drank it so it barely touched the sides as it were.

This beer is good when it is served in a chinese restaurant with a couple of friends. Cornfield (4960), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 22, 2005 Bright gold with white bubbly head that lasts for a little while until it recedes into a thin cover. Some pleasant noble hops and some malt to balance it with only a touch of pepe le pieu. Very little flavour that contains some hops and, unexpectedly, raisin and grain. No bitterness to speak of. Light body and good carbonation level.
