Beer Testing - Round 2

With Harbin Beer winning the inaugural challenge, next we put it up against another Blue Diamond Beer.

Defending Champ

Name: Harbin Beer

Origin: Harbin, China

Alcohol: 3.6%

Price: USD0.40/can USD0.11/100mL

Challenger

Name: Blue Diamond

Origin: Beijing, China

Alcohol: 3.7%

Price: USD0.34/can USD0.10/100mL

Tasting notes:

This Blue Diamond is slightly different than the previous one in that this one is not "Refine". So we were expecting it to come out a little tougher, perhaps a little rougher around the edges, and with a bit more bite. However, it was just as unremarkable. Its slogan is "For all seasons and all people." Now, that's a nice lofty goal, but in my experience, whenever you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody. This was no exception. It got a 5/10.

So with a score of 5.5/10, Harbin Beer managed to edge out the Blue Diamond to defend it's title.
