Tsingtao

Brewed by Tsingtao Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Qinqdao, China

Very pleasing to the palate especiialy when paired with Chinese food (that is being consumed in huge quantities). Very light in color. Much subtler than the Pale Ales that I am used to.

Golden color. medium head, smel is nice skunky like a pilsener, fullhop pilsener taste,.....big suprise, almost a german one. with rice.......

Light golden colored pour. Had a malty, grassy aroma to it. Had a hoppy, sweet carbonated finish to it. Not bad.

From a 12 oz. distinctive Tsingtao green bottle with no freshness date served in a standard pint glass. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear pale straw yellow with a nice white bubbly head that reduced to a minimally sticking thin lacing. Had largely a clean aroma, a faint graininess and floral hops. Overall, medium carbonation and a thin medium bodied mouth feel, average drinkability. Clean tasting, a smooth graininess and a light sweetness, just a touch of a sulfur yeastiness, a soft hop bite towards the crisp bready finish and a lingering soft sourness in the aftertaste.

Pours a nice golden yellow. Aromas of malts, hops. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

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, 330ml. A pale yellow colour with a medium-sized head. A musty, citric aroma. Taste of hops with some sweetness and a hint of rice. A citric finish. Moderate carbonation. A perfectly acceptable, refreshing lager.

A refreshing and sweet beer. Not particularly light and not particularly hoppy. This is a great entry into Asian been as it is readily available. Not necessarily the best Asian beer readily available, but readily available none the less.
