From old tasting notes. Pale gold with a big bubbly white head. Tart grainy malt aroma. Tang malt flavor. Some bitter hops in midtaste and finish. Brief dry aftertaste.

I think this is the beer I had basd on an article in Forbes... I remember the bottle having the words the official chinese banquet beer written on it... and the Forbes article said this was the beer, but I miht be wrong. Anyway if this was the beer, it was really pale, small head. Slightly sweet and so on. Not bad, but nothing good. Found in a Chinatown.

Canned. Pale golden, clear, no head. No aroma. Very light bodied with thin but rounded mouthfeel. Possible there’s a very light hint of wheat malt. No bitterness. I’m glad that Carrefour in Beijing offered an English translation of the name on their shelves, as otherwise there’d been no way I’d been able to know that this was indeed a wheat beer.

Canned. Pale golden, no head. Light apple aroma. Light bodied withhard mouthfeel and low bitterness. Highly neutral flavour, perhaps the slightest hint of green apples.

Yellow-gold colour, no head. Smells like a mixture of white wine and pineapple juice. Tastes like pineapple juice and crappy lager. Usually, when the Chinese make a pineapple beer (and they do) it says so right on the can.

Your average Chinese lager. More malty with a bit more body then the American mainstream.
