Tsingtao Brewery

IPA·China·6.2% ABV·One of 538 IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Tsingtao IPA's bitter and citrusy character. Tsingtao IPA is built for a full body, a long but restrained bitterness and fruity notes. It pours dark amber with a slight haze and an ivory head. Caramel, dried apricot and roasted grain lead the aroma, cut by fresh grapefruit. The palate is malt-forward, with toffee and bread crust before earthy, herbal hops and grapefruit pith take over. The finish is dry and lingering, with toast and a firm bitterness.
