Tsingtao, Beer (China) 
This is an interesting beer brewed from rice and barley at the Tsingtao Brewery, founded in 1903 (pronounced "Ching-dow"). It has a bright yellowish colour and thin white head. The nose is quite aromatic, with plenty of hops and a distinctive starchy note. On the palate it is very smooth and has a creamy body, with good, light, bright hop character and a citrussy, clean finish with decent acidity and bitterness. I've seen this written off as "bland", but I thought it had a decent bit of character. Scrapes three stars. 5.0% ABV, 33cl, 24 X �26.50, Surf4beer, quite widely available. |  |
