Bottle, as Harbin Lager. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small white head. Fruity nose with some hops. A chemical whiff too. Pretty uninteresting flavor, low on both malts and hops, but far from awful. Fruits and hints of bittering hops both initially and in the end. Medium to thin on the palate. A drinkable one, but definately not a favorite. 091223

Had in Harbin some years back. Watery, corn, rice, little in the way of aroma. Was drank frequently under a tent while smoking a cheap Chinese cigar. Good for memories, not good for imbibing.

Ha! Call it Harbin, brew it in Wuhan. Inspired by the culture of Heilongjiang...yes I can taste the ice and snow sculpture festival right now. I can see it in the dull yellow colour and smell it in the generic eurohop nose. Sweetish, clean with saazy accents and straw malts. Way too much flavour to be inspired by Chinese brewing culture.

600ml bottle. Pours a transparent orange-yellow color. Lots of carbonation bubbles, not unlike a soda. Adjunct laced aroma, pretty unpleasant, I guess that would be the rice. Sugary sweet with some rice character. Not horrible, or as undesirable as the aroma, remains drinkable at least. Hellongjiang isn’t beer country.

This beer is a clear straw color with with a short white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Mild hops aroma with vegetables and malt in the background. Light body with light sweet malt and grassy hops flavors. The finish is mildly bitter hops with a short sweet malt aftertaste. Nothing redeeming about this beer, it makes Tsingtao interesting by comparison.
