Bottle. Pale yellow pour with thin white head. Very little flavor of corn and grass. Not much good to say about this one, I can’t say I enjoyed it. Just not for me.

Bottle. Pale yellow pour, with a small, bubbly, white head. The aroma is rice, pine, tangerines, and apples. Very sweet, with some fruity esters. Light body, a little effervescent, and silky. Overall, this is a surprisingly flavorful, light, and fruity lager.

Bottled, 0.5l. Clear pale golden color with small frothy white head and low carbonation. Aroma of adjunct malts, mainly corn, with some cardboard notes, too. Light malty start, followed by grassy taste, but not hoppy. Plain mouthfeel with dry and crisp finish. Light body, thin texture and soft carbonation in palate. Poor industrial lager...

The second beer on world beer Sunday this time from China. This one claims to be the number one selling beer in China so it must be good. Pours a pale golden straw color with a decent white head that shows moderate retention and minimal lace. Smell is sweet honey like malts, slightly grainy, a bit or earth, a hint of bread, slight skunk. Taste is sweet grainy honey like malt up front, stays quite sweet through out, minimal hop flavor. Medium to thin body, moderate level of carbonation, sweet candy like mouth coating mouthfeel. Number one huh? I’d take Budweiser over this in a heartbeat. Hell I’d take Tsingtao over this too. This is overly sweet with almost no redeeming qualities. One and done.

Bottle. Well chilled as suggested by brewery. Aroma, skunk. After sitting for a few minutes, skunk. Pale yellow orange colour with a fast dissipating white head. Lots of tiny bubbles. Sweet flavour with a little hop bite. Medium hop finish. If they do put maize in this, I can’t taste it. Would be better from a tin, and on a hot day.

Tastes like emptiness. Is that a buddhist concept? If so, the beer could be seriously anti-establishment in China. Unfortunately to me, it tastes like crap. Maybe I lack culture... Got in a white can in 7-11 in Taiwan

The main Yanjing you buy in the 600ml bottle for 3 kuai everywhere in Beijing is a pale, sour beer. It is light bodied, with a little bit of grainy taste. It drinks quickly and you can drink a fair bit of it relatively painlessly.

Originally rated December 2008. Bought a six-pack of this at the LCBO, and had a few for our jam straight from the bottle. Was pretty decent. Now, from the glass. Pours a light golden colour with a big foamy white head, good retention, lots of small lacing lines and average carbonation. The aromas starts on grain malt, but ends up on the hoppy side. Crisp mouthfeel, but not watery, with a medium body. The taste is like the smell, starting off with the grain malt and going into a mildly bitter finish. This beer is nothing exceptional, but a bit better than the other swill Chinese brews we get here. Found it pretty hoppy from the bottle.
