Tsingtao

Brewed by Tsingtao Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Qinqdao, China

I was expecting a glass on Anthrax with this lager,but was surprised to find a clean (read low hopped)& OK drinking lager.I actually have a soft spot for Corona when wanting to hit the swill,so what do I know ?

I have absolutely nothing to contribute about this beer so I will istead mention that this beer was featured in Jean Claude Van Damme’s bloodsport. However, I don’t remember JCVD actually drinking this, there are some pints with some beer in them and Tsingtao bottles near so I don’t think it would be unreasonable to deduce that they had been drinking it. Tsingtao is better than sol and corona but worse than westvleteren. I guess there might be some hops in the taste and something ricey but all this is just wasting air. It is drinkable and works on a hot day but so is water. Well not all water but you get the point.

Light in everyway. Easy to drink and pair with foods. Not impressive though. Attraction would be its utter simplicity.

bright appearance with fast-off head. smell of hops and grass. sweet start, mid comes with some hops, ends hopsy and a bit malty, allover a very thin taste

0.33 bottle, Light aroma, yellow colour, light head, taste is quite nothing, surprised about the palate. No reason to drink this asgain though.

Bottle. Pours a weak yellow color. Very weak watery taste. Aroma is skunk and malts. Taste is malts and water. Not very good beer.

Weak malt aroma. Clear yellow colour wit small white head. Sweet, but otherwise an ordinary lager.

Not bad for a generic Asian lager. A decent, if uncomplicated drink, suitable as an ice cold refresher on a warm day. Predictably goes well with spicy Asian foods as the blandness doesn’t detract from the food.
