The beer emerged from the 33 cl can revealing a very pale golden brew with modest head. The aroma is offensive. Funky--not in a good way--adjunct banters about causing the imbiber to repulse. The flavors are similar and difficult to get swallow. Pissy.

Serving type: can

2.73/5  rDev +16.2%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Appearance: Very pale yellow color. Poured with about an inch of thick head, which was gone in less than half a minute. No lacing. Plenty of bubbles rising in the glass.

Smell: Just a hint of sweetness before it was gone.

Taste: Lightly sweet with almost no hops bitterness. Very typical American Adjunct flavor. Slight metal twang.

Mouthfeel: Light body. Not a lot to savor. No big problems, though. Adequate carbonation.

Drinkability: Very drinkable, as there is too little flavor to slow down for. If you like to drink a lot, you could with this beer, but I'd rather grab something with more to it.

Serving type: can

This entry is to discern Yanjing's Ben Sheng (本生) draft beer from its Chun Sheng (纯生) Draft beer (the "draft" version of Yanjing encountered normally).

A: Clear light straw, about one finger of frothy head.

S: Light malts, slightly sweet.

T/M: Light adjunct malts, sweet, very crisp and well-carbonated.

D: Drinkable, but only to complement stronger flavors in Chinese food.

Serving type: bottle
