I bought this beer just for the fun of it - shipping beer all the way from China to Norway seems like the ultimate absurdity, if the beer isn't something extraordinary. This beer isn't. But Tsingtao is not outright bad either - it just isn't very interesting. Heineken-like aroma, neutral flavour, overly carbonated, no lasting head. Sure it would be refreshing on a summer's day in China - exporting it to Europe should be considered a waste of resources.

    Bottle pours with a golden color that supports a small white head. Nice lager aroma of malts and a bit of skunk. The flavor was refreshing and smooth. Malty notes to go along with some noble hops. It leaves a pleasant malt aftertaste that isn’t too sweet. Other than the small skunk smell I couldn’t detect a fault in this beer.

    Pours Straw colored, very clear. Single finger white head goes away quickly. Sweet aroma, slight maize, grass. Tastes much the same, with a reasonably crisp finish. Pretty boring though. green bottle

    I had this several times, mainly paired with Asian cuisine. Now that there is usually more of a craft selection, I'll go with that. Not sure if better than Kirin, but similar in style. Maybe a little more crisp, if that means anything. As far as pale lagers go, could be about average or better than. Not a style I prefer though. It is what it is with this beer, just don't expect much.

    I think I know know what liquid grass taste like. I only gave this a try because I didn't want to drink the American beers that were on tap. I think the only way iI could suggest someone drinking this. Would be because they were at a Chinese resturant.

    How have I not reviewed this? Damn, this is a gassy beer. Do not drink in polite company, as each sip sends a collection of ripping belches out of your mouth. I only buy this when I order Chinese food. Something about cultural unity, I suppose. It tastes like pale yellow. Yep. It makes me think of all the faded, rotting, insipid, lifeless yellow things in Joyce's Dubliners. Like it longs to be in the company of crumbling books and discolored teeth. It isn't unpleasant tasting; it just tastes like nothing at all. Looks passable and uber-fizzy. It goes with Chinese food well, however, because it cleanses the tongue of all that sticky sweet-n-sour/orange chicken/General Tso sauce without leaving a residual flavor behind to temper the next bite.

    Clear yellow with foam quickly disappearing. Strange smell, sewer? Taste cannot be placed, I wouldn't know what it is. OK had my Chinese beer. (Houston 201205)

    Uh-oh, the dreaded green bottle. Pours a pale yellow color. Smell is skunky. Taste also has some skunk to it, grains, mild. Overall a light and mediocre beer.

    pours a pale yellow with a nice white head that sticks around for a little while. Enjoy the carbonation. It has a light grainy aroma. Is a fairly crisp, easy drinking lager that mixes well with a lot of spicy foods.

    It pours a light yellow with a thick white head and some surrounding lacing. I am guessing an aroma of rice malts with lemons and citrus, grassiness, and some light spiciness. The mouthfeel is smooth and sort of rich. Flavors of rice malts, light hops, lemons and citrus, grassiness, and light spiciness. Somewhat sour, but it is not too bad..

    Even the volumn of this didnt make for a good drink. Poured very light gold almost yellow. White head disappeared almost immidately..slight efference..no lacing to speak of and not much aroma to speak about either..malty scent ..maybe..taste water/thin, mouth neutral nothing on the tounge after swallowed, what good to say? It was cold and wet on a hot and humid day.
