Beijing bikini watermelon wheat 15 IBUs 4.5% made with Daxing melons. Sample at Big Smoke. It is  a clear very pale gold. A bit Binfest in the nose evil rich melon aroma., interesting. Soft light body, raspy carbonation and a subtle melon flavor plus mild tartness. Quite good.

On tap at Big Smoke. Flying fist ipa 6.5% IBU 60 A deep copper orange gold which is what I want from an ipa. Citrus, lemon and pine hop bouquet screams classic ipa. Medium to full bodied with a raspy carbonation and semi-dry finish. The taste is pine and citrus with enough of a malt backbone to support it. A really nice beer to compliment the excellent food. A solid classic style.

On tap at Big Smoke. Mandarin wheat 15 IBUs 4.8% An opaque light gold with a Wheaty butterscotch diacetyl aroma. Taste is wheaty sweet butterscotch, not terrible but nowhere near style. Second fail at a wheat beer in Beijing, what gives?

Vom Faß im Jing A Taproom, Peking. - Orangegelb, leicht trüb, lockerer Schaum. - In der Nase schöne Grapefruit und Mango. - Im Antrunk gut herbe Grapefruit(schale), abgemildert durch mild süße Mango. Gut rezent, angenehm mineralisches Mundgefühl. Im Abgang beträchtliche, trocken-harzige Hopfenbittere. - Unkompliziert aber ordentlich gehopft und gut bitter: ein angenehmes Pale Ale.

Beertopia 2015 #6 translucent dark amber pour. Dense head. Sweet bready malt with some fruit hops. Taste is heavy malt and booze with some dark fruity hops. Tasty but overly malty for my taste.

Pours hazy and pale. Aroma has some hops but not really much. Taste is about the same - not bad, not really unbalanced or anything bad, just not too exciting. Drinks good, would really like to try this fresh from the brewpub.

Pours a bit hazy, little foam, flat. Aroma is spicy, ginger. Taste is not bad, quite a lot of ginger but dry, lasting lingering ginger bitterness. Not bad but sort of biased towards ginger too much.

Pours pale, hazy, whitish. Thin layer of foam, goes away in seconds. Aroma is soft, not much going on, simple. Taste has a bit of sourness from wheat, pretty simple and not overly exciting. Some lingering wheat sourness in the aftertaste.
