Thanks to Matta for this! hope I have the right beer here, there is no indication in English that indicates it’s alcohol or anything else. I needed a palate cleanser in between a ham sandwich with Dijon mustard and a barleywine and this was perfect. Once you get past the smell, you’ve got it licked. Why do these Pale Lagers look so good?? Pours a large white head that lasts quite a while over a sparkling clear light yellow beer with loads of tiny bubbles streaming to the surface. Soapy sour aroma with no flavor to speak of. Watery and as refreshing as water can be. Could be a lot worse I guess.

Pale straw colour. Hay-like aroma. Very thin body. Hint of graininess but that’s about it.

Very pale yellow. Smells like Sprite with a sprig of mint in it. Tastes like Sprite, too. Taking fruit beer to new lows...Yanjing Brewery!

Golden colour, no head. Light aroma of grass and pale malt. Balanced, if light, lager. Grassy hops, graininess, hint of malt on the palate. off-dry finish. Moderate body for style.

Light gold colour. Earthy, grassy hop aroma with a hint of sweet malts. Slighlty crisp hop character, but not backed up at all. Light and thin, and the hop does not last. The finish does not exist.

Yellow, no head. Quite ugly. Smells very grainy and industrial. Tastes it, too, with thick phenolic plastics and paints. Watery finish. Pretty bad.

Blond color. Poor Chinese beer, a bit smelly, sweet, a strange fruitness, not enough bitter.

Canned. Pale golden, no head. Sweet and lightly raisiny. As opposite to their regular beers this actually isn't just water, it seems there are also some rice in it. Not good, but I'd rather drink this than most other products from this horrible brewer,

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Sugar aroma. Sweet, mild and ricey. Medium bodied, no bitterness. Similar to the cheaper Danish lagers.

Canned. Pale golden. Unclean estery pineapple aroma. Mellow, papery and with loads of DMS. Undrinkable.
