Going for 4 wins in a row, Harbin Beer's next challenger is Yanjing Beer.

Defending Champ

Challenger
Name: Yanjing Beer
Origin: Beijing, China
Alcohol: 2.8%

Tasting notes:
Yanjing Beer was the official sponsor of the Beijing Olympics, and had the tagline, "Inspire the world, taste the dream." Well, it lived up to half of the slogan, because it was pretty much a nightmare. Really fizzy and no taste. Both Mike and I gave it a 4/10.

Harbin Beer, with a score of 5.5/10, wins decisively and is now 4-0. How long can this middle-of-the-road beer continue this winning streak?..
