hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and noble-hop character as Tsingtao Bainian Zhi Lü. Tsingtao Bainian Zhi Lü, whose name means centennial journey, was introduced in July 2020. It is brewed at 15 °P from a blend of four malts, some kilned in five rounds, with European noble hops and the house yeast, and fermented cold in two tanks for longer than the brewery's standard lagers. It pours amber at around 20 EBC. Rich malt leads, with caramel from the specialty malts woven through hop and fruit notes. A brief bitterness passes quickly, and the finish is soft and lingering. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
