BGI Tien Gang - \"33\" ExportThat’s right a beer from BGI Tien Gang, and no I don’t have a clue if that translates. I don’t even know where the 33 comes from, but obviously they know and knew that this beer was going to be exported. The whole brewing process across parts of Asia came from the brewers of Europe. You can really see that in this beer. It is a light golden color, with small bubbles in the head that faded rather quickly. The aroma is best compared to a Grolsch. The taste is almost the same, both clean and crisp, but the finish of this beer has almost a waxy film that has the beer sticking to your mouth as you try to stop drinking. It seems that light beer in Asia is quite popular. I know I could down a case of these with some spicy food.
