Bottle from Ogi, no idea where he got it. "Ice Filtered", 0.33l bottle, 5% alcohol. No info online on what had happened with the recipe, if that’s a new beer or whatever. It only says it’s distributed by the Hong Kong SM, absolutely no mention if somebody else is a brewer.Anyway, it poured a golden body with lovely and lively carbonation. Lasting head. Sourish malty nose, some rice .Strange (yet seeing where it comes from, expected) smooth grainy, ricey crappy malty taste, some alcohol, sweet and dry. Nice mouthfeel, crappy taste.

33cl bottle. Golden beer with minimal formation of white head that quickly diminishes. Aroma has cardboard notes, the same for the flavour with sweet and corn notes. Body is light, carbonation is low to medium.

Oh, a new lager from China thinks I: ’PREMIUM BEER OF THE ORIENT’ claimed the front label. On getting the beer home I find new information. The rear label pronounced it was a San Miguel product brewed in the UK! Anyway, the brown 500ml bottle was opened and reviewed in my back garden on a warm evening in April 2011. Poured into a pint glass, badged by Good People, Birmingham, ALA. I had a long hard day at work and was ready for a refreshing beer, this looked like it would fit the bill nicely. Lager/Pils golden yellow, clear, bright and almost headless. I can’t pretent it had any great aroma, taste or depth of flavours, in fact it was a ’lawnmower’ sort of beer, quenching my thirst but doing little for the art of brewing. Neither hoppy or malty, it sat squarely in the middle wishing to offend or please anybody, a beer for the masses. Will I be rushing out and buying crates of this stuff, no: but it served it’s purpose on the day.

33cl Can in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. ABV is 5%. Clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma is very light, a bit of rice, light malty. Flavour is almost absent, light malty, dry, rice. No off flavours, thus if drank cold this is a refreshing brew.

33 cl. bottle from Netto-supermarket. Love the label, extra credits! Brewed in the UK. Clear, golden colour with a small, white head that almost faded. Light aroma with cereal malts, cooked vegetables and a skunky note. Light sweet taste. Light body, thin feel, fizzy, short to no finish. (!) Oh well, I got a rate for Hong Kong...

Tap in one Chinese restaurant in Cambridge. Golden color with almost no head. Aroma of malt, some fruits. Taste, sweet with rice, malt and some fruitiness. Boring beer.
