Written by the company

Everyone reacts to alcohol differently, and some people, particularly those from an Asian background, can experience adverse reactions to alcohol. That is why we created Bu Hong, a premium low-alcohol beer (1.2% ABV).

Good addition to the no/low list

Compensates for the very low alcohol by being quite citrusy and a bit sour (vaguely like a saison), so there's some interest there (unlike so many of the dreary 0% lagers), which makes it more enjoyable. (Cloudy but so what.) I've yet to find a five-star no/low beer, but will happily keep some stocks of this in the fridge.

Agree with the guy below that the delivery and communication etc was terrific. I also agree with him about the beer being not lovely. I just found the smell really offputting, it almost stank. Sort of a manure smell. Then the beer itself tasted sort of sour. I got used to it and drank the whole can in the end, but l don't want to try it again much.

Truly awful tasting product

The ordering and delivery process was top notch. Despite it being nearly Christmas, it arrived the next day well packaged. The cans look great too. However, this is one of the nastiest products I have ever come across. I appreciate and enjoy all beer types, alcoholic and non alcoholic, from around the world, but this has to be one of the most revolting smelling and tasting beers ever made. Upon opening the can there is a horrifying cannabis-type smell. The beer pours well but unfortunately the taste is absolutely putrid. It’s how I would imagine week old urine from a dehydrated alcoholic would taste. It is absolutely offensive to even the most experienced palates, avoid at all costs.

Thank you for your order and for taking the time to share your thoughts—we're glad to hear you were happy with the service and packaging. We’re sorry to learn that the beer didn’t match your taste preferences. Bu Hong was created with care, and while we’ve had some really positive feedback from customers, we understand it won’t be to everyone’s liking.

Taste is deeply personal, and we truly value all perspectives, as they help us continue to refine what we do. We hope you'll find a beer that’s a better fit for your palate, and we wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2024! Cheers!

Well done 👍 and good luck with your ongoing sales x

One Of The Best Low Alcohol Beers Available

I took advantage of the offer through 'Popbitch'. I luckily don't suffer the symptoms it was designed for, but I can say that it is one of the tastiest low alcohol beers I have ever had. 'Big Drop' and their 'Poolside IPA' is my absolute favourite, but this comes a close second. The low carb, low calories and a little recreation of that beer buzz makes this a winner. I have ordered two boxes now. Well done!

Brilliant

Brilliant!
I ordered 12 cans and they arrived within a few days.
Tastes great, love the design and didn’t get the horrible bloated feeling after.
I don’t count calories, but it’s an added bonus that there’s only 27 per can!
Will be my new low alcohol drink of choice for sure.

We’re also happy the lighter feeling after drinking is a win for you—just what we were aiming for when developing the drink. Please spread the word!

Thanks again for choosing Bu Hong—we can’t wait for you to enjoy many more cans!

Good service but beer not for me.

Good service but beer not for me.

I'm a fan of European and many other lagers - 0% wise brands like Heineken.

This beer is nothing like these. It's cloudy, fairly bitter and more like a light ale or maybe IPA.

I'm a bit gutted as I bought 24 tins - I should have paid attention to the website as it only mentions "beer" not what style or even much about taste.

So yeah, probably an ok company - but avoid if lager or pilsner type beers are more your thing.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. Your insights as someone who appreciates a good lager or pilsner are invaluable, and we’re grateful you took the time to share them.

We understand Bu Hong’s cloudy, light ale-style profile might not be for everyone, and your feedback will help others make a more informed choice. We’ll also take your comments on board as we refine how we communicate about our beer’s style and taste.

We hope you might find some friends who enjoy this kind of beer to share the cans with. Thank you for giving us a try and for helping us grow as a small business.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a fantastic new year!

Cheers,
Team Bu Hong

Its a solid 3/5

I like the packaging. The beer itself is fine, could be a little more body to it. It benefits from having a squeeze of lime added.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for giving Bu Hong a try! We’re glad you like the packaging and appreciate your feedback on the beer itself.

You’re not alone in suggesting a squeeze of lime—it’s something a few people have mentioned, and we couldn’t agree more that it’s a great way to enjoy Bu Hong. It’s such a good idea, we’ll be talking about it a lot more in the future… and who knows, there might even be a new flavor variant in the works (but that’s our little secret for now)!

Wishing you a great Christmas and New Year!

Cheers,

Delivered very quickly

Delivered very quickly. A good tasting beer, quite citrusy, like a craft beer. Little bit of alcohol is nice, for when you want to relax with a proper sort of beer but not go over the limit. A good middle ground between full strength beer and alcohol free.

Light, fizzy and fruity! Delicious!

My Filipeno friend has always suffered with the 'Asian flame' when we drink, though she loves a pint- it was a running joke for us when we were going out in our 20s. I wanted to try this beer with her in mind, to stock up for her visits. I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed the taste myself- light, fizzy and fruity- it was super refreshing, and great to have a lighter option to enjoy for daytime drinking in the sunshine. My husband also likes to have a beer with his mates after his scuba diving trips, and this low alcohol option is perfect so he can have a beer and still drive home, and not feel like he is missing out. Overall great product, will order again!

We love hearing stories like this! It’s great that Bu Hong has become a hit with both you and your friend. Our goal is to create something everyone can enjoy, and we’re glad it’s fitting into your daytime drinks and post-dive meet-ups. Just a quick reminder—Bu Hong still contains alcohol (1.2% ABV), so it’s important to stay mindful if you’re driving. Always keep track of your units to stay safe. Thanks so much for your support!

Great Beer for the Dreaded Asian Flush

I always get teased for having a bright red face after having any type of alcohol (I'm asian! I can't help it!) but this beer helps me from looking like a stop sign! I also love how it tastes, very refreshing and fruity!

Glad to hear Bu Hong has been helping with the flush! That’s exactly why we created it. We also worked hard on making it taste refreshing, so it’s awesome to know you enjoyed that part too. Thanks for the kind words!

Brilliant for the wheezy ones among us

I really enjoy this beer, it has a great taste and makes you feel content that you are having a beer without the guilt! After discovering (since the global lurgi) that drinking alcohol results in an asthmatic reaction, I have been on a search for something that does not require me to use an inhaler after indulging. This definitely helps and I still feel like I'm having a nice drink. My only wish would be that it comes in larger cans as a Northern lass I like a pint!

A fantastic new beer!

A fantastic new beer and I love the design.
Great price, quick service, and suitable for all occasions. It's so good to have this lower alcohol content option for when just chilling with your friends, or when enjoying some lunch. And it tastes nice too!
