March 2006: 330 ml green bottle with a green label, simply called "Yanjing Beer", in France. ABV was 4.5%. I presume this is the same beer. Pale golden colour, large fluffy head. Grassy aroma, not unlike Tsingtao and Heineken. Relatively dry pale lager flavour, not offensive.

Had this on board Air China. The crazy rice sweetness is overbearing and there's hardly any hops to balance that out. Super adjuncty. Smells ricey and sweet, but overall just bland. This is bad beer. Too sweet. But on Air China, it's free... so I had 2, haha.

A: Pours clear golden with lots of small bubbles under the rather tall crystal white, airy head. Disstipation takes some time and leaves nice lacings.

S: Rice galore, artificial sweetness. Bready. Some faint bitter hops, but everything is very mild.

T: Very mild taste, rice-smoothness is the only thing that comes to mind.

M: Light as water, rich carbonation and no aftertaste.

O: If your game is getting drunk, drinking water this might be something for you - otherwise, don't bother.

Drank straight from a 330ml green bottle.

Smells ok, not to bothered.

Tastes light malty and hoppy, quite watery and refreshing.

Overall a decent cheap beer great for drinking in enormous quantities. Not wanting to be snobby, so what more did you expect?

Coming in a 330ml can, BB 24/04/2012, served chilled in a stemmed lager glass.

A: coming in a dark straw colour with moderate carbonation, without a substantial beer head.
S: light maltiness with a doughy edge, not assertive but the slightly sour note of lager beer is obvious, at times reminiscent of prunes even.
T: a gassy swallow of semi-sweet grainy malts precedes the lightly dry palate and a mysterious sour edge, while an interesting perfumey touch of fruitiness lingers at the back as well. It’s not particularly dry in the finish, but pretty clean without bad influence from sickly sweetness, either.
M&D: the carbonation feels more lively on the tongue than meets the eye, the body is thin but not totally without form. All in all, this lager beer is a watered-down version of German Helles lager with added adjunct. Not horrible as Bud or Coors, though.

Big 600ml bottle from some hole on the alley in Hong Kong. Around a buck forty. Served in a tiny glass.
Pours a thin yellow color, with a nice head that disappears in about 3 seconds... like a soda. Quick swirl produces nothing to smell, so I pour again and smell fast.
Smells a bit like urine and corn... getting better. Lol.
Taste is a bit of ginger, and generic lager flavor... but the ginger is at least semi interesting.
Thin, and not surprising, not that great. But the ginger was a surprise.

look: 2 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2
Appearance: Light golden color. Less than a finger of foam on pouring, lasted less than 3 seconds, leaving nothing with which to lace.

Smell: Very sweet malty smell. Sugary, cotton candy.

Taste: Okd musty taste. Wonder where all that sweetness went? Not here. A touch of bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Light body. Crisp finish. Plenty of carbonation to scrub the palate.

Overall: Getting close to drain-pour territory. The taste is not appealing to me. As with all my reviews, glad I tried it, if only to know not to buy it again.
