Beijing Yanjing Beer Co., Beijing, China
4.5% Lager
Certainly goes down easily, with a taste best described as inoffensive or “beer flavoured.” If Yanjing robs a bank, it’ll be tough to pick out of a crowd. Some grassy and lemony notes, with a sour finish.
Where to drink it: On a deck or patio.
Pairing: Nice with peanuts, salted in the shell, or edamame.
