Tsingtao Brewery

Pale Lager·China·5% ABV·One of 330 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Tsingtao 1903's malty and bready character. Tsingtao 1903 is named after the brewery's founding year; in China the same beer is sold as Augerta, after the brewery's first brewmaster, whose German yeast strain it still uses. It is brewed at 12 °P from Canadian and Australian two-row barley, rice and Saaz hops with a long cold fermentation. It pours bright gold with a creamy head. Bread dough and gentle malt sweetness lead the aroma, lifted by herbal, lightly spicy hop notes. The body is smooth and rounder than the flagship, with honeyed grain, before a crisp, long finish with mild bitterness.
