In partnership with Hong Kong Beer Co., Cathay Pacific is proud to introduce a wheat-based beer that fuses the distinct flavour of Hong Kong-sourced "Dragon-Eye" fruit, with aromatic English Fuggles hops for added pop. A hint of New territories honey completes the marriage of ingredients from two great destinations, and ensures the flavour takes off at first sip. Bestsy Beet tastes great anywhere, but especially at 35,000ft.
Ingredients: water. barley malt, wheat, honey, longan, Fuggle hops, yeast.

Pours amber with little to no head. Aroma of grain and botanicals. Taste has more grain, some spice. Palate has much of the same, some light hops, aromatics that linger on the nose. Good. Thanks to Dad for snagging this for me.

Can definitely say this is the best airline collab beer I've had. Some citrus, and easy drinking. Much better than a Heineken, to be sure. Pours golden with ok head. Light bitter end. Can on flight from HK to DC.
