Bottle from Feng Hotpot: drank from the bottle with rather spicy hotpot, which was a pretty good combination. The beer is a cheap macro, but it is pretty clean. Light bitterness. Watery body. Not enjoyable generally, but in the particular context worked rather well.

33cl can in an Air China flight from Frankfurt to Beijing. Pours (in a paper cup) orange gold, with white foam. Aroma is floral, citrus and honey. Body is a little light, with moderate carbonation. Taste is delicately sweet, not very interesting but not terrible either. Final is average.

Corn, barley malt, and hay aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet corn, barley malt, and mildly bitter grass/fresh hay flavor. Okay body. Green bottle - surprisingly not skunky. Finally got the top macro.

330 ml can from Yardley Beer Company in Morrisville, PA. Label says 5% ABV. Medium gold pour. Brief white head. Grainy malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt. Bready notes. Some minerality. Clean and simple.

Garbage. A worse Heineken.

Drunk straight from the can. Aroma and taste: malt, wort, fruity hints. Hopless. Light sweet . Mouth feel: light body, average carbonation. Overall: empty as hell.
