Tsingtao

Brewed by Tsingtao Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Qinqdao, China

Serve in Lager glass

Bottle in China and at home in Sweden some years ago. Typical light lager, clear golden with a small head. Thin aroma and flavor, watery and boring. Some grass and bread, dry.

Bottle at Chinese restaurant in Bayswater London. Clear pale yellow colour with large creamy white mostly lasting head. Malty aroma. Sweet flavor.

Tried it in a Tibetan restaurant. Ironic I suppose. The beer is crisp, but at the same time watery. It is more than I expected from an Asian beer, but still not really all that great. Had a little bitter bite, but nothing really worth mentioning. Would never really search out this beer again, it isn’t really worth it, but as for a taste of China it is worth drinking it once or maybe twice.

Pale goldish yellow, medium soapy head. Aroma is very fresh with some hops at first but becomes extremely faint very quickly. Flavour is disappointing, watery with a weird bitterness. No drain pour but that’s it.

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.

Not good at all. I just had this to post a Chinese rating. Bitter, harsh, highly carbonated.

LIght gold pour, bubbly white head. Aroma is mostly light malt, grain, a touch of honey, and light floral hops. Flavor is much of the same, with barley and grain the dominant characteristics. Very light mouthfeel typical of the style. Not bad.

Light color full but quick disappearing head,slight hop aromahighly bubbly,a faint hoptaste, absolutly no aftertaste, has texture and mouthfeel of an American light beer. Very simple,like a seltzer water. Doesnt complement Chinnese food that well, unless you enjoy the cleansing of the mouth effect it has, whereby you savor your food more. A gulping beer, strictly to quench thirst
