0.33 l bottle, courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing. This was funny enough already before tasting, a beer enriched with that! Damn! So it poured some ordinary pale golden body with small head. Weaker, corny and rice aroma, some fake hops maybe. But the flavor was really the bad thing! Strange note reminding to metallicity (or alcohol) here, with rice/corny base without anything pleasant here. But its very thin body helps it to become drinkable (even then, barely) which is a huge plus here. No finish or some ugly half second of something...forget it. Stupid concept and stupid beer, but can be swallowed somehow.

0.33l bottle purchased at a Chinese restaurant in Zagreb near my place. What a find. What a name. What a concept. Stunning. Poured a pale yellow body with a tiny white head that went away slowly. Lazy carbonation. The nose is as bad as expected... almost foul. Rice and alcohol (not something you would expect to find in a 3.1% lager). Extremely watery taste, papery rice and that is all. Blah. Not all that offensive but probably stands in a dictionary under crap.

bottle, label does not match the picture at all, but the imported beer claimed to be a tsingtao beer acc. to my notes. i probably spelled tsingtao wrong, as no tsingtao beer exists.. sampled at a chinese restaurant in alcudia spain. aroma-mainly hoppy, sweet notes behind that. appearance-yellow , thick white head. flavor-not very strong flavor. sweet faint hops, sawdusty sweet notes. even though very weak, it is nicely balanced.

Rating #1800!:
Clear golden coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of malt, metal and blood - not much pleasant here. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic flavour with some nicer mellow hop flavours. Aftertaste shows some more harshness around the edges with an alcoholic burn and some bitter metal tastes coming through. Overall, a strong and metallic flavour - but some decent tastes come through. I’d rather have this than a normal Tsingtao, but that might just be because I had this 330 mL can, purchased from a small grocery store in Shanghai, China a year ago, sampled during the opening Ceremony of the Olympics, on 08-August-2008.

12oz Bottle My first and last China beer. i don’t buy stuff from China any way. But I had to kill my China rate. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way. This brew was skunk juice mixed with dirty China water.

Pours bright gold into a snifter. Bright white head recedes to skim surface and hug rim. Skunk aromas. Crisp and slightly sweet upfront with a sour finish. Doesn’t taste as bad as it smells...

35.5 cL can, alcohol content says >=3.6 - I guess you could be more lucky with some cans. Pours clear yellow with a fully diminished white head. Vague cornish aroma. Flavour is dry and bitter cornish. Slight cardboard note to a vague bitterness. Mild watery finish.
