Overview China’s largest brewery is owned
in part by InBev Anheuser-Busch
and Japan’s Asahi Brewery; its
flagship beer is firmly in the mold
of American lagers like Budweiser,
being lightly hopped and brewed
with rice.
Flavors and aromas Tsingtao doesn’t stand out among a crowd
of American pale lagers. Our
bottles were a touch skunky
(which is unsurprising given the
green packaging) with a bit more
body and sweetness than, say,
Budweiser. There’s very little else to
distinguish this beer, other than a
hint of butterscotch in the finish.
