2.5% dirt cheap at Century Mart in Shanghai maybe 50 cents? Drunk from shale pint glass in Rome. Crazy ultra to ale yellow with a thin fizzy white head that vanishes almost as soon as you pour it. The nose is soapy, sugary & artificial - bleak. Light sharply carbonated watery body. The taste is sharp, sewage, sugar, yuckiness... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Sour barley malt and hay aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet barley malt and lightly bitter hay flavor. Not horrible and surprisingly an import beer in a green bottle that was only slightly skunked.

60cl bottle in Hong Kong. 8.9 HK$, 4.5%. Pours very pale yellow, bubbly white head that disappears qickly fizzing. Skunky notes on the nose. Aroma is mostly rice with grains, apple and hints of lemon, with something grassy. Taste is flat a bit sweetish, but crisp, dry finish with saké overtones, highly carbonated, thin body. Chinese as per expectations.
