Draught, multiple locations, Qingdao
Very dark brown with a thin light brown head. The aroma is caramelly with a little bit of chocolate syrup. Light caramel notes, a bit thin, almost cracker-like character.
Sampled bottled at Wei’s Pizzeria in Kunming, Yunnan
Dark chestnut colour with a huge, thick, light brown head. The aroma has a light roastiness and appetizing leafy hoppiness. The body is moderately full with rich malty flavours of nuts, dark chocolate, and light coffee. One of the finer schwarzbiers I’ve had. 8-5-8-5-17 = 4.3

Extremely pale yellow with bleached head. Looks like Coors Light. Aroma has a grapey-appley hoppiness. No flavour, no body. It doesn’t just look like Coors Light - it IS Coors Light.

Sampled from the bottle on a discarded minibus seat at the side of the road in downtown Nanning, Guangxi Province
Golden colour. Taste is quite hoppy with Saaz. Aroma is lighter, more malt-accented. Flavour is balanced, bitterness is moderate. Finish is sweet, but with hop flavour. One of Tsingtao’s best brews.

Dark yellow. Watery flavour with hay and pee-like hop character and just the vaguest of malts.

Bright yellow colour. Slightly grassy hop aroma. Very light flavour. Medium body for style. There is more grassiness, but only just, in the flavour than aroma. Finish is watery and quick.

Wie auch sonst bei asiatischem Bier gibt es eigentlich keine Schaumkrone, was dem GEschmack aber glücklicherweise nicht schadet. Schmeckt wässrig herb mit angenehm langen Nachgeschmack. Für chinesiches Bier sehr gut! Test vom 21.9.2004, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,10,8,9,11,9 - 8,80

Bottled. Dark brown, rich head. Sweet woody nose. Grapefruity hops, molasses and dark bitter chocolate. Restrained sweetness and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Lightly roasty. Hoppy bitter finish. I'm stunned. This beer is actually really good.
