Tsingtao

This is one instance where "made in China" doesn’t necessarily mean crap. Pretty good lager.

One of the worst beer I’ve ever had. I could only choke down a few mouthfuls before I had to pour it down the drain. It smells like mold covered bread and has a corresponding flavor.

Well, I’ve had better beer from worse breweries I guess. Nondescript really, just drinkable when no other options are available, like airport restaurants

Bottle. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Starts off with a surprisingly nice hoppy aroma. Weak flavour with some metallic notes.

Massive strong hoppy aroma leaps from the glass. The hoppiness is retained in the flavour of the beer but unfortunately it doesn’t offer more than that. The aftertaste is quite watery as is the texture. Not bad overall though.

Bottle. Looking at the list if ingredients, I should have hated this. However, I have drank much worse. Pale gold with a decent white head that left moderate lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and rice with a whiff of hops. Flavour was a tad sweet with a vaguely hoppy finish. Inoffensive.

Pretty good as long as its COLD. Looks better than it tastes. I had this at a Chinese Buffet.

Strangely the finnish import listed salt as an ingredient? I’d say it’s on the sweet side with american bud-style flavor. Drink this quickly while it’s cold, as it rapidly turns flat and skunky.
