I find that most standard Chinese beers aimed at men are flavourwise toned down western beers. By which I mean they are mostly quite light flavoured. There is also a beer scene aimed at women. Here they seem to very strongly focus on the incredibly sweet and sour flavours.
There is a kraft beer scene in China which has been growing over the years. Where I live, Xiamen, it exists but most of the places don't have bottled/canned products. As Xiamen is somewhat touristic they want to get most out of the customers by giving them the pub experience.
Today I got some beers delivered to my place. The first beer I tried was Fiery Shield which was a horrible disappointment. It was so light that I pretty much couldn't taste anything (I didn't even snap a pic of it). The second beer was quite nice. It is a Belgian white beer by Qiaorookie:
Quite amazing long lasting foam levels for a bottled beer. I am not a big fan of beers with orange notes but because it is so toned down I think it pairs pretty well.
Well that's all for today. Let me know if you have any Chinese beer recommendations :D
