The bottle of this beer is pretty cool. The beer itself however looks insipid. A bottle such as this could signify dedication, fine attention to detail and a sense of humour - or just a desire to draw attention away from what's inside it. Given the appearance, I'm leaning toward the latter.
Lucky is quite clear like a pale lager, no real head to speak of, nose of spice / asian rice lager / slight bitterness. Taste wise is where this really falls down, delivering a too-sweet, too-flat experience indolent with metals and skunky dead lager notes that make you wonder what's actually in it. It certainly doesn't taste like water, malts, hops, or yeast.
Aeration could be improved here to make it a bit more refreshing - as it is, it's maybe a little undercarbed, which in this case forces an unnatural focus on the flavours or lack thereof.
Not much fun sadly, and some distance behind the other common Chinese challenger Tsingtao. Lucky I only had one. 1.0
