Drank quite a bit of this in Shanghai and Hong Kong and it wasn’t bad at all. Crisp, clean flavor with mild hops and some malts. Body is a bit thin, but that actually adds to its drinkability. Was incredibly fresh. I imagine it’s not nearly as good outside of China due to the green bottle, but if you can find it fresh it’s a pretty respectable macro lager.

Bottle. Poured light golden colour with a thick fast dssapearing head. Aroma of grain, and adjunct. Flat watery flavour, not much like beer. Flat finish. This isn’t a drain pour because it does have some thirst quenching properties, and I drank it after hard labour in the yard.

Mildly skunky and pissy smell. Yellow with a medium head. Tastes like watered down urine. Lacks any redeeming value except for the fact that it is only mildly offensive.

Bottled. Sometime I wish I knew what was behind the Chinese beer names... This one pours pale golden. It reeks of iron. Despite being dry the mouthfeel is syrupy, and the very light body reveal sahrp thin edges of nmetal. There’s no bitterness of course. Seems like, despite the ingeniuos name, the beer is not much different than other minor Chiese brands.

Bottled (probably a rip-off of Tsingtao, aquired in Zhejiang province - the label looks near identical to Tsingtao but the western writing is different. The phone number 0532-87369903 however points towards Qingdao). Pale golden minimal head. Neutral fruity nose. Sweet and buttery, very light bodied. Metallic finish without bitterness. Empty, but sort of drinkable with some dedication.
