Tsingtao Augerta A6

Tsingtao Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 China · Amber Lager · One of 22 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Augerta A6 is an all-malt lager from the Augerta line, introduced in 2024. It is brewed at 13 °P from two-row barley, a blend of base and specialty malts and the brewery's historic yeast strain, then fermented slowly at low temperature. It pours clear and amber-gold. Rich malt leads the aroma, layered with light caramel and a floral note reminiscent of rose. The palate is smooth and rounded, its malt sweetness balanced by a noticeable hop character, and the finish stays fresh and soft.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tsingtao Augerta A6

Appearance

Pours a clear amber-gold with bright, luminous transparency. A modest white head forms and subsides to a thin collar with steady lacing around the glass. The body displays fine carbonation typical of a well-conditioned lager.

amber-goldcrystal clearfine carbonationsteady lacing

Aroma

The nose opens with prominent rich malt, layered beneath soft caramel notes that suggest gentle kilning. A delicate floral character—reminiscent of rose petals—rises above the malt base, adding complexity and restraint rather than perfume.

Taste

The palate enters smooth and rounded, malt sweetness forward but balanced by a noticeable noble hop character that prevents cloying. Mid-palate remains full and soft, with the hops providing gentle structure without aggression. The malt foundation holds throughout without becoming heavy.

Finish

The finish stays fresh and soft, neither lingering excessively nor fading abruptly. A gentle hop dryness emerges just as the malt recedes, leaving the mouth refreshed and inviting another sip.
