Tsingtao

Brewed by Tsingtao Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Qinqdao, China

Bottle. This is pretty standard fare, but it does have a nice chalky quality to it, and is reassuringly crisp. This is a classic session beer for a night down the Arcadian Centre in Birmingham.

Clear golden color with okay head. Rice beer with a sweet note. Slightly watery but a good lager.

Very neutral blond beer. Golden colour with a fast decreasing head. The taste is smooth with floral aromas, light body but it is quite sparkling. I’d never drink it on its own, but next to chicken tandoori or duck it’s pretty good!

Pale yellow with a head that fizzed out quickly. Malty and a bit watery, but crisp and cool.

Appearance: Pours out a brilliant, light yellow body with a frothed, white head. Smell: Initial skunk whiff. Let me do the Jumble and I’ll be right back. Alright, now that that’s blown away, we can get some faint maltiness, cereal sweetness, and a light touch of plain floral hops. Taste: Faint maltiness with some standard cereal sweetness. Very mild floral hops with just a minimal, though growing amount of bitterness. Finishes dry and clean with a dainty crispness. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Just another forgettable, faceless lager from China that makes me really wish I had some Chinese grub to pair with it. Mongolian Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, Moo Goo Gai Pan -- bring it on. Heck, I’ll even go for Broccoli Beef!

Early taste testing days..Pre-Ron days....Average yellow gold color with some sweetness.

Better than average lager. Taste is a bit malty with some hops presence. Smooth to drink and finished nice and crisp. Better than most beers available at the local Chinese restaurant.

Light golden colour, thin head. Aroma of sweet malt and a bit hoppy noose. Very easy and pleasant to drink.
