"Not sure why I bought this beer. Perhaps it was the fancy "tissue" wrapped bottle that drew me. But I've yet to have a Chinese beer that wasn't a huge disappointment, and this didn't do anything to change that string of bad luck.
The beer pours out a really nice golden hue, with a decent two-finger thick head. Aroma was slightly skunked, some corn and a small bit of grains. Flavor of corn, a bit on the sweet side so it did have a decent malt profile. The soda-water like mouthfeel with it's over carbonation was also hard to deal with. Not a horrible beer, and it does live up to it's style points of a pale lager. Just wayyyy overpriced for the little flavor you get."

"I don't associate Asia with beer so I never know what to expect when I try one. As a typical pale lager it is golden yellow, clear, and has a fleeting massive yellow head on top. The aroma is typical grassy malt with a hoppish hint, and what smells a little like vinegar. The flavour is grassy as well with a little bitter kick to finish the experience."

"This Pale Lager pours a medium gold color from a 330ml bottle. Small to medium sized white fizzy head. The aroma is sweet, malt, a touch vegetative with some corn and skunk. A medium to light bodied pale lager. The malts are fruity and sweet touch of corn and some rice. The hops are slightly spicy. A pretty typical tasting pale lager, though not as skunked as most. It is a touch sweet and a little vegetative and mostly beer flavor seltzer water. But it’s not really objectionable. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of cardboard. "

"The beer pours a luminous gold color, the head average and a creamy white. Lacing is thin and is spotted on the glass. Clean pale malt at the open, followed by a mild herbal hop note."

"i knew this was a top of the line crappy lager when i bought it in tissue paper for 4 bucks just to stick it to it..... Pourse with some head, tastes bring about wet buttered corn, tingly carbonation, overall clean, and mellow. Pilsner/pale and really its very plain and nothing special"
