Tsingtao

Brewed by Tsingtao Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Qinqdao, China

Serve in Lager glass

Bottle from PF Chang. Pours clear yellow with a thin white head that disappears very quickly. Not much on the tongue except gasseousness. Metallic finish. Ugh!

Aroma of dusty hobs, mainly sweet malty flavor with nothing else going on. Standart, harmless and good for what it is.

Bought this in a 22 oz green bottle, Poured very nicelly into the glass quite an impressive head for a lager beer..went down a bit but still nice. Good golden colour. Smells pretty good too some malt light hops. Taste however is pretty average..its not bad but its hardly good. Feels light in the mouth and its drinkable..I bought this to go along with the Szechuan chicken i prepared at home..it does a good job with this spicy dish

UPDATED: MAR 14, 2011 640ml bottle from Tesco Extra. Rice & resin aroma. (fond memories of China) Very pale yellow colour, not much head. Resin rice & corn flavour. Watery but sharp lager. Great for washing down oriental food. Not a beer to savour.

Pours a clear bright yellow with a very thin white head. Ricey aroma with some skunk. Nasty skunky, rice flavor with a hint of hops and a lot of water. Very boring, very bad.

Incredible, I have had so many of these and have not yet rated it. Unlike many others I actually don’t mind this. It is only to be consumed with Chinese food and preferably in their restaurants, not with take-away. I agree that it simetimes has a goss odour but often in Australia it is fresh and therefore not lightstruck. the most recent foray with this was last Saturday at the Sharkfin Restaurant in Melbourne’s Chinatown. After a day at the races where the stinky boys consumed about 10 Carlton Draughts followed by a couple of Belgians in our hotel room before the footy, this was not a bad drop. A more serious review may be less kind so let’s just leave it at that.

08.04.2011. 0,33l Bottle. Spesialbutikken Vaaland. Pale yellow colour with white head. Hoppy aroma with nice balanced bitterness. Refreshing beer with very nice aromatic fresh hops. Aftertaste is bitter and lasts at least for a while. Good lager.

I’d like to thank my good friend Jon for drinking bad beer when we went to a happy hour after work, so that I could have a sip and incrase my number of ratings by one for free. Plus, I could rate a bad beer on a sip instead of having to invest in an entire bottle. Yuck!! Quickly dissipating foamy head, very clear and watery. Awful smell, I swore that it reeked of garbage.
