Hans "Dry Beer"

Ordered with our semi-vegetarian lunch outside of the terra cotta complex in Xi'an, China. A typical Chinese beer with absolutely no flavor but is particularly useful as a tea alternative. The pic shows the head about five seconds after the pour. The color is a bright clear yellow with a few bubbles. The aroma is mostly corny and marshmallow fluff. The palate is corny, zero hops, and some light floral hints. The mouthfeel is ultra-light and finish is as quick as water. My three favorite beverages in China are local low alcohol lagers, Moutai, and bottled water or hot tea. So, light lagers do have a purpose especially when traveling in areas where the local water is questionable.
