Tsingtao Classic Lager
Tsingtao Classic Lager is the brewery's flagship, brewed in Qingdao from water, malted barley, rice and hops and given a long fermentation. It pours pale gold with lively carbonation. The nose shows grainy malt, light floral hops and a touch of sweet corn from the rice. On the palate cereal and bread crust meet herbal and citrus notes, followed by a dry, crisp finish with a faint grapefruit-pith bitterness and a lingering hint of barley sugar.
