Description
Lhasa Beer is a super premium quality all-natural, all-malt lager beer made with the world's finest ingredients including Himalayan Spring Water, Saaz hops, yeast, and a maximum possible quantity of Tibetan barley. The native Tibetan barley, unlike most barley varieties in the world, has no hull. Thus it adds to the beer's body and gives it an extra dimension of flavor while eliminating some of the undesirable astringency that can come from the grain hulls.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for this sample! Fresh neutral grainy beginning. Watery with a metallic neutral body. The aftertaste is metallic-grainy, strange but drinkable. A bit mouldy with not much nice flavour. Sad.

Sweet and surprisingly complex aroma of honey, hay, and even toffee is prominent. Milky golden, full of floaties, thin head. Medium body, sweet honey flavor initially, finishes grassy. Good stuff.

Can, found at the Tibetan cafe on Nanluoguxiang, Beijing. Slight golden-straw colour and nothing even close to a head. Heavier body than Green Barley, with a little sticky malt. Quick and bland, and old-school Chinese lager.
