Tsingtao Augerta A3

Tap to rate

Augerta A3 is the lighter of the two all-malt lagers in the Augerta A line, brewed at 10.7 °P from a blend of base and specialty malts, a selected aroma hop and the brewery's historic yeast strain, and fermented slowly at low temperature in the classic two-tank method. The line pours with an amber-gold shine. Malt leads the aroma, lifted by a light floral note, and the palate is round and smooth, with malt sweetness and hop character well integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, approachable malt—bread crust and gentle grain sweetness. A light floral note lifts the profile, likely from the selected aroma hop, keeping the bouquet fresh and restrained. Clean fermentation character allows the malt and hops to integrate without obstructing yeast esters.

◐ Taste

The palate enters round and smooth, with malt sweetness distributed evenly across the mid-palate. Caramel notes emerge subtly, balanced by gentle hop character that provides low-key bitterness rather than assertive bite. The mouthfeel is creamy and full-bodied for the ABV, finishing with integrated malt and hop structure that feels neither cloying nor dry.
