Tsingtao

Name: Tasingtao

Origin: China

Alc Vol: 4.7%

Size: 640ml

I was a pessimistic when I first saw this beer and must say I have never tried a Chinese larger before and I wouldn’t think of China as the place to find a nice beer. But I was proven wrong. Tsingtao ‘ pronounced ‘Ching-dow’ is a surprisingly nice beer. The general smell of it remind me of fosters but the taste is far more pleasant and well balance than fosters. I would say this is an ideal beer to have with a Chinese meal or any take away. It really is a light and refreshing beer. It seems the Chinese get many things wrong but making a good beer they seem to have got right. I give this a 4 beer rating as it surprised me and at only £1.89 you get 640ml which is well over a pint, so its definitely a bargain.
