Tsingtao Beer 
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 bit of real character. 33cl. 5.0%ABV.
