| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 3, 2002 Light, wattery, but has a mild champagne dryness. It has sort of a rice taste to it. I can drink this stuff and it’s a got a potent kick to it, but I wouldn’t call it excellent. It’s an average beer- like a Chinese Bud-Light. Overpriced, but nice with a spicy Tofu dish. Little carbonation and light head. Pretty refreshing, but not exceptional. GregL40 (97), Massachusetts, USA

The taste says adjunct but the bitterness saves this beer, as it makes it crisp. Very light and bland body. MrBunn (1542), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely pale gold with a very small and ephemeral head. After just a couple of seconds I’m wondering if it was even ever there. Aromas of skunky hops assault me from a distance and closer inspection confirms that these are burying any other odors except for a few whiffs of apple juice that are scurrying for the exit doors. Flavor is poor... a bit of apple juice, some adjuncty-lagery malt and those damn hops seem to have fled while the getting was good. I’m not sure about this "spring water from Laoshan." I don’t really know if it added anything, and I’m begining to think it might be a simple marketing trick... Even so, if they handed these out for free at work I’d probably drink another. cazort (418), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 23, 2006 This beer is a lot better than the average American macro-brew; it’s lacking compared with the average euro-import, or good American brews like Yuengling. Sweet but not offensively so, some hops and some bitterness. Overall my complaint is of the body--it is thin as water. If they made this one a little bit richer and fuller, it would be a decent beer.
