- [Serving Style] In Taiwanese taverns (Re Chao), the rule is to grab bottled beer yourself from a giant fridge and pour it into small glasses on the table (~100ml cups unique to Taiwan).
- [Temperature] Brewed for Taiwan's climate, pouring it over ice (Jia Bing Kuai) is a local Taiwanese style.
- Low bitterness and fruity aroma mean it doesn't clash with greasy, garlic/chili-heavy Taiwanese food; infinitely drinkable like water.
- ABV 5%. Marked by 'Gold Medal' written on a green label.
