Bottle. Not too shabby for an asian pijiu. Pours pale yellow w/little bitty head. Aroma is malty, kind of watery taste but decent if very cold and matches spicy chinese food of course.

0,33 bottle. The bottle and label are beautiful, the beer is also surprisingly beautiful. Deep amber, large-holed yellowish-white with a nice head. Aroma: not too intense, but light years better than the previous pure draft Tsingtao. A little fruity, a little IPA-like, but there is also something strange in it, which is not good. Body: weaker than average, the carbonation is okay. Taste: there are interesting things here... The aftertaste bitterness reaches the level of a basic IPA, but while drinking there are also strange, sour, inappropriate flavors. It has a medicinal effect, otherwise drinkable for those who like bitter beers. Not a really outstanding IPA, but at least it looks good.

Az üveg és címke szép, a sör szintén meglepően szép. Mély borostyán, nagylyukó sárgásfehér szép habbal. Aroma: nem túl intenzít, de az előbbi pure draft Tsingtao-nál fényévekkel jobb. Picit gyümölcsös, picit IPA-s, de azért valami furcsa is van benne, ami nem jó. Test: közepesnél gyengébb, a szénsav rendben. Íz: na itt már vannak érdekes dolgok... Az utólagos keserűség eléri egy alap IPA szintjét, de ivés közben furcsa, savanykás, oda nem illő ízek is vannak. Gyógyszeres hatású, egyébként iható a keserű sörök kedvelőinek. Nem igazán kiemelkedő ipa, viszont legalább jól néz ki. Amúgy jó malátás, és jól iható, egészen rendben van! *** Update: amikor megvettem, nem gondoltam volna, hogy még veszek hármat egy hét múlva "csak úgy inni is", de így lett, szóval nem rossz...

0,33 bottle. The bottle and the label look good. When opened, it smells like a large-scale "bad" lager, no foam, hardly any color, but still urine-yellow... Musty malty sweet smell. There were a lot of inappropriate things in the taste. Either sugar, or some sugar substitute, plus corn, tasteless, really bad, but somehow - I don't think with hops - they somehow managed to make it a little bitter.. Even though in theory it only has rice in it... Anyway... it's not a good beer, I won't write more about it.

Az üveg és a címke jól néz ki. Kibontva nagyüzemi "rossz" lager illat, hab nulla, szín is alig, de azért vizelet-sárga... Dohos malátás édeskés illat. Rengeteg oda nem illő dolog volt az ízében. Vagy cukor, vagy valami cukor helyettesítő, plusz kukoricás, ízhibás, nagyon nem jó, de valahogy - gondolom nem komlóval - valahogy elérték, hogy picit keserű is legyen.. Pedig elvileg csak rizs van benne pluszban... Na mindegy... nem jó sör, többet nem is írok róla.

Bottle, 7.8%. Ok caramelly aroma. Clear amber colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour is caramelly, but quite dry. Clean bitterness. Dark caramel, but not too sweet. Spicy hop note.

Bottle. Pours clear darkish amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with touches of caramel and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish touches of yeast and malt and some sourish hints. Acidic and bitter aftertaste with estery and malty touches. Well, it tastes like a cheap IPA produced for supermarket chains a decade ago. Hardly an IPA and hardly recommendable.

gefunden bei einem asiatischen Restaurant 🌏 im EKZ Wien Mitte an meinem letzten freien Tag.
Mein Exemplar hatte lt. Etikett 7,5% alc.
Gleich im ersten Schluck denkt man sich: oha🤢, gefolgt von einem Pfui Teufel🤮
Das Bier entspricht einem miesen Bock. So ist es klebrig-süß 🍭 und dabei brutal alkoholisch 🥛. Es brennt und klebt am Gaumen 👄 und man ist fraoh, wenn sich der Geschmauwieder verzieht.
Absolut widerlich und nicht zu empfehlen.

Roasted malt and nuts aroma. Taste is similar with more toasted bread hint and a light bitterness. A medium dry and coffee finish.

Bottle. First tried this one at the ’82 world’s fair. Wasn’t that bad. Recently tried it again. Whew! skunk beer. Tastes like skunk water. Sure did change. Won’t try it again. Do not recommend.
