🏆 Yunnan does it again – another GOLD at the World Beer Awards 2026 in London!
Our Make Her Smile Lychee Ale (妃子笑荔枝艾尔) just took home :
🥇 GOLD in the Flavoured Beer – Fruit & Vegetable category
🇨🇳 Country Winner – China
This is our second gold medal at this year‘s competition – after Summer Solstice, our lychee ale now gets its moment to shine ✨ And the competition was fierce : breweries from Brazil, Canada, Belgium, France and more were in the running. But our lychee ale came out on top !
What‘s ”Make Her Smile“ all about ? 😏
Named after the famous ”Fei Zi Xiao“ lychee variety, this beer is made to put a smile on your face – and on the face of the one you love.
Style : Lychee Ale (荔枝艾尔)
ABV : 4.2% – light and refreshing
IBU : 5.4 – barely any bitterness, sweet but balanced
Tasting notes :
👀 Appearance : Pale golden, slightly hazy, with a subtle pink hue
👃 Aroma : Fresh lychee, bread, grain, with a hint of natural green notes
👅 Palate : Lychee sweetness from start to finish, with hints of grape and strawberry. A moderately dry finish keeps it from being cloying.
In short : sweet but not too sweet, fruity but refreshing – the perfect beer for a summer afternoon or a laid-back evening with friends. And at 4.2%, you can have more than one 😉
