Description
Here at Dong Feng Brewing, we’re crazy about flavour and we love the world we live in. We’re adventurers at heart and on our travels, we’ve met some incredible craft brewers, especially in the beautiful country of China.

We’ve partnered with our favourite Chinese craft breweries and members of the craft beer community throughout China to bring you three IPA’s bursting with flavour. Juicy and fresh, we’ve always loved how Chinese ingredients have a depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with hops used in the brewing process.

However, it’s not just the craft beer community who have inspired us on our visits. We have met some brilliant charities working towards a better future for us and our environment. That’s why for each beer sold, we will donate a portion of the profits to Animals Asia to support their work in rehabilitating bears, cats, dogs and other captive animals exploited in cruel farming practices.

We invite you to adventure out of your comfort zone with our three new IPA’s, all bursting with the taste of China.

330ml can from Beer52 subscription box. Another fake brewery by the looks of it. Cloudy yellow straw pour with small white head, reasonable retention and lacing. Citrus aroma with fragrant notes of peach and passionfruit. Very citrusy with the yuzu addition. Has some flavours of lemon and lime. Its sweet but with a grassy bitterness in the finish. Light bodied and refreshing. I like it.

[33cl can from Beer52, brewed in the EU for Dong Feng.] A cola brown coloured pour with a billowing tan head; aroma of roasted grains and caramel; similar taste with a clean hoppy bitterness; then lingering roasted grains.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy straw coloured pour with a loose white head that laces the glass nicely; citrus aroma; crisp citrus taste with a malty body; and a clean lemon finish. Much better than expected.

Hazy golden with a white head. Smells of zesty hop. Flavour has lemon, a little sherbert sweetness. Not loads going on but pleasant and sessionable and a nice, lingering sweet hop flavour.

Can from Beer52. Lightly hazed yellowy-gold with a lasting white head and a rather prickly fizz. Vibrant lemon (or possibly yuzu?) leads off, with juicy blackberries following behind. A little white bread and flowers in the background. Enjoyed this; it exceeded my expectations if I'm honest.

33cl can via Beer52; so brewed at De Proef, Belgium not Dong Feng: BB 11th May 2022. Can has a bear on the front, but the beer is 'Inspired by The Red Dragon' apparently. Hazy straw blonde body, white head. Orange like aroma and taste with other citrussy fruits joining in. Getting bored with this sort of thing to be honest. Scored objectively.

6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Can from Beer 52. Pours a hazy pale straw colour (almost greenish) with a generous frothy white head. Aroma is strongly of oranges, but with hints of yeast as well. Bitter oranges dominate the first sips in the mouth, but once the tongue has got used to that other flavours start coming through. There is some pineapple, with sweet hops, lemongrass and hints of spice. Finish is sweet but dry. Bit of an acquired taste but quite nice. Refreshing and drinkable but never an IPA.

Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy pale gold body. Lemon & spiced aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a clean back. Bitter/Sweet citrus, confectionery, peach & melon tastes. Refreshing.

[33cl can from Beer52, not sure if this is one of their fake breweries or not - it seems to have it's own website and other beers.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a loose white head; orangey citrus aroma; light floral citrus taste; and a pithy finish. Refreshing but unexciting.
