Tsingtao

Chinese Heineken... you know - Chinaken! Really not great stuff - everything you’d expect out of a lager in a green bottle.

i guess for the quantity of this they brew it is not bad... it is watery at best, acid white head gone in seconds and the flavor (which is very faint) is certainly not going to upset anyone. i probably would not ever buy it but VPB brought some over to my house and hey, free beer is always good beer in my book. :-)

Bottle @ Noble House into lager glass. Pours a warm yellow with a decent white head that quickly deflates. Not much carbonation at all. Very sweet, corny and kind of banana/warm grain smell and taste. Not awesome but not a drain pour.

Bottle - Pours a typical prem. lager way with a fairly fast-fall head. Aroma is somewhat sweet and sour with hints of cereal, but still fairly clean. The taste has similar notes, but with added notes of metal and mild hops. If served nice and cold, it is very refreshing!

Very clear with a light golden color, high carbonation and a small, thin, white head. A light note of noble hops and a lot of grain notes with a light sweet and sour note. Flavor is really grainy, sweet with a light spicy hops. Very thin and just not much to it. Overall not bad but thing that is really unique about it.

Bottle. Pours very pale, with almost no head at all. Some hops in the nose. Dry crisp taste. Nothing special.

This was not too bad for a swill, in fact rather better than expected. Colour, head, and aroma were all pretty much swill-standard, but flavour and mouthfeel were a touch better. I’d have it again. Re-reviewed: after having this stuff in the homeland (China), it seems a touch better than that which I’ve had at home. Maybe they keep the good stuff for their ’home’ market?
