Cheap yellow gold color with a white head and little to no lacing. Cereal grains in aroma and taste. Slight grassy hops. Weak palate. Not offensive...just a mild summery brew.

Bottle. Skunky aroma hit me before I even got the cap off - has a sharp sour (almost rotting) malt aroma. Light yellow with small head. Slight sweet mildly fruity and tangy malt flavor. Bitter flavor actually comes as an aftertaste. Not horrible, not great.

Tsingtao Draft 10° 4.0%-640ml bottle- the other TsingTao Draft was was widely available throughout Hong Kong, so I will figure it is the Draft that’s been rated by others already. I also had this Draft 10° in Xian, so I will list this one as the new beer. pours a white head that quickly goes to none. Color is bright, light yellow. Aroma is pleasant grain. I’m hopeful this will be a stand out from most others. Taste however is the standard, grain with good carbonation. Produced 7/23.
