In honor of our Nations birth and Obama selling the country to the Chinese let's sample our new National Beer.
China’s #1 selling beer
4.5% abv bottle; 5% by can
1pt 4.3oz bottle 600ml
Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co.
Shunyi District Beijing, China
$3.59 a bottle
Got it on sale 2 for $5
Appearance: bright golden lager color with a big white head that disappears before your eyes. Plenty of bubbles in the body. No lacing what so ever on the glass.
Aroma: this smells just like the red rice I buy from Spice Merchants, it is a very earthy smell. Earthy rice nose is about it for me.
Flavors: over cooked corn, over boiled starched white rice, wish it had the red rice taste, somewhat sweet, and a lump of something that is … oh, grains, kind of barley like, maybe it is barley. While the specific tasting notes look bad; it’s not all that bad in overall taste. Have to search this beer to see what it is made with. I’ll make a $10 bet that it has more rice than malts in it.
Mouthfeel: it’s strange; with all that carbonation in its appearance it comes across to me as flat once it hits mid-palate. So, let’s call it semi-crisp yet refreshing.
My Strength Rating: 2.5 – bland – the grainy taste brings it up .5 on the scale.
To the Point: Drink this ice cold or forget it. Cold – it is refreshing and semi-crisp. Warm – it’s nasty. If you are a Bud or Miller drinker give it a try. If you like at least good beer – well, forget it for it’s not worth the effort to find it.
