Lucky Buddha:
Hello y’all and welcome to another day another dollar…wait, no, another beer!  Yea, that’s it.  Okay, back to task and today we get a beer that’s also a statue for luck! Love! Money! Happiness! Not necessarily in that order! You ask, what beer is that? I say Lucky Buddha, brewed from the finest waters of Lake Qiandao Lake - that’s Thousand Island Lake to us new comers- and is home to such exotic sounding islands like Bird Island, Monkey Island, and Snake Island (yeah, count me out on that one) and add in your usual beer ingredients as well as rice and you have this Asian lager.  The beer pours ok with a very clear pale gold color that has just a slight head on it and a subtly sweet nose that share space with malts.  The taste is very mild with a crisp malt flavor on the front end and develops a sweet taste on the mid tongue and finishes dry on the back-end and leaves a slight hop finish.  At 4.8% this is a good summer beer and, maybe, if you rub it’s belly, you get lucky.
