Beer Testing - Round 7

Six time winner Harbin Beer goes toe to toe with Asahi "Fine Taste" Draft.


Defending Champ
Name: Harbin Beer
Origin: Harbin, China
Alcohol: 3.6%
Price: USD0.40/can USD0.11/100mL

Challenger
Name: Asahi "Fine Taste" Draft
Origin: Beijing, China
Alcohol: 3.6%
Price: USD0.42/can USD0.12/100mL

Tasting Notes:
Asahi actually means "Morning Sun".  With that in mind, I guess this could be a good breakfast beer to start your day, as it's quite a light, easy drinking brew.  Mild, but not watery like the other beers we've been trying recently. I suppose it does taste "finer" than their normal draft.  A bit fizzy, but overall, I can see this being a good summer beer. I give it a 6/10!

So finally, after a remarkable win streak (albeit not against the toughest of opponents), Harbin Beer, with a score of 5.5/10, is knocked off!
