This beer tasting session took place a while back and the review has been made but I’m just a little behind in getting the results posted.

As usual, as the non-beer drinking member of the group, I am in charge of making the notes and taking the photographs.

Per the rules of the Club, one member takes turns each meeting to do the buying and knows what everyone is drinking, the rest get a blind tasting as not to influence their reviews.

Himself:  “ good for when you are thirsty on a summers day, it gets what it deserves and nothing more, an average rating (Rating=5)”

Friedel: ” for a larger I like it, easy drinking, little citris , summer beer, not exciting not offensive either   (Rating = 5 )”

Evan: “ German or Chzch ? I have a strong suspicion I could drink too many of these as it seems quite light. (Rating = 4 )”

Alicia: “ too light for me, tasty but.. I want it in the summer as something refreshing , I’m guessing it’s German (Rating = 5 )”

Frank: “great starter, thirst quencher, larger, all year round refreshing” (Rating = 3)

  1. Nice! You should do more beer reviews!

    Being a simple security guard, I normally just judge beer brands according to Price and Convenience.

    I tend to buy cheap beer so I can have leftover change for snacks and if the beer bottle has a twist-off top, that’s worth a few extra points in my book.

  3. Hey
    Good call on the German guess, this beer is brewed by German ex-pats in China along German brewing traditions. I like it. Good idea for a post.
