xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA Dec 17, 2007 21.6 oz bottle at a chinese restaurant in SB. Aroma is light but pure premium lager yeast. A surprisingly not unappetizing flavor, dry and lagery, much better than most American macros, it doesn’t have that corniness that you often find. Medium bodied and smooth (not crisp). It was a little less than half bad. shoestring (187), larkhall, Scotland Dec 17, 2007 Maybe drank this too warm. Part of a an ’Asian selection’ pack.
Malty aroma/taste came through, but just not as sharp and crisp to cut through nibbles or food as some others. (would take again though) charlotte (1997), Vanløse, Denmark Dec 15, 2007 Pale yellow with no head.Taste of citrusand hops clear and weak,very watery.Only good is that this my first beer from China. llcooldave (309), San Antonio, Texas, USA Dec 14, 2007 Updated: May 16, 2008Weak head, virtually no aroma. Tastes very watered down. Dark Golden in color. How can they call this a beer? I’m not really liking this... Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 12, 2007 Pale Yellow with little white head. Aroma of rice extract and skunk. Tastes of rice extract, corn, and a tiny hint of hops.c Not good, but better than american big 3 EKGoldings (447), Radford, Virginia, USA Dec 7, 2007 Oh, I’ve had many a Tsingtao in my college days. I’ve found this at best to be a decent light lager. At worst it seems like drinking perrier out of a rusted can. I actually prefer the beer called Tsingtao from Taiwan, which is made from a completely different company (that one tastes like a reasonable Danish lager). This one is actually the beer I drink most if having a beer in a Chinese restaurant ... light taste and relatively crisp hops tends to go well with that food. Pyobon (266), Sydney, Australia Dec 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 17, 2009Can (330ml). Yellow with little head. Some aroma of malt, maybe with grassy notes. Watery palate with moderate carbonation. Reasonable taste of malt with some hops in the finish.
In 2009 I had this draught in Xi’an and would rate that more highly: 5,3,6,2,11 - Clear golden yellow with no head. Slightly malty aroma with a hint of hops. Medium body and carbonaion. The main impression of the flavour was that it was watery, but other than that there is nothing wrong with it, but there is also nothing exceptional about it. Somewhat malty with no bitterness. Served cold in 38C weather in Xi’an it was well recieved, but this is not a great beer.
ha1ag (415), Maastricht, Netherlands Dec 7, 2007 clear yellow color, very thin head no lacing. smells like hemp. (?) taste is flat grassy.
