COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Tsingtao Beer has a pleasant aroma and a well-balanced taste. It has high-malty flavor and well-hopped character. Tsingtao is produced with spring water from Laoshan, a mountain area famous throughout China for the purity of its water. The domestically-grown hops used to brew Tsingtao are of such high quality that they are also exported to European breweries. Tsingtao also uses the finest yeast and barley imported from Australia and Canada in its brewing process.

NOTE: Under this entry, rate ONLY exported Tsingtao that roughly matches the ABV and local Tsingtao that matches it completely. If it differs in any way and doesn’t match the other entries under the brewer, please send in a bug report with the alcohol percentage, degrees plato (important!), the GTIN and preferably a link to a picture of both the front and the back label so that we can set up an entry.

camborne (293) - Hopkins, Minnesota, USA - MAY 20, 2013

Was eating some really spicy Chinese food so this beer was much needed. Slight malt and hop flavored water. Not unique in anyway

Nische (70) - Saltsjö-Boo, SWEDEN - MAY 20, 2013

Just like any other pale lager. Some cardboard, hay and grass in smell and grassy taste.

An ok, very pale lager from China. Had it in Beijing, in the company of good friends. Actually, I had several...

Rob_D_UK (178) - - MAY 15, 2013

Clear pale golden colour with average, frothy, diminishing, white head. Grainy and strawy aroma. Taste is monotonously, minimally sweet pale malty with a grainy dry touch. Light body.

kaser (1005) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 10, 2013

Had this from a bottle at sunda. Golden pour. Malts and earthy taste. It is a little heavy for a beer like this.

Fritz123 (236) - Boca Raton, Florida, USA - MAY 6, 2013

Bottle at a Chinese Food place. Poured into a frozen mug. Oh joy. Frothy white head and a very yellow, clear pour. Aroma was mostly nothing. A little funk smell was all. Taste was extremely watery with hints of bitter hops and an almost sour aftertaste. Blah. I couldn’t even finish it.

AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20

Benfi (292) - DENMARK - MAY 6, 2013

Pours a very pale straw yellow body with a small fizzy white head that quickly vanished. The nose is pretty horrid, it’s a mix of corn, rice, cardboard, and cooked veggies. The flavor is just as bad as the aroma. The corn and vegetal flavors are front and center, soggy and limp with zero hop bitterness noted. Finishes with a dusty and grainy harshness. Thin, watery,

KansaiBeerLvrs (230) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 5, 2013

Bottle in China & in Japan. Your typical boring lager. Looks like straw, smells like straw & tastes... like straw! A bit skunky like a grolsch, don’t drink it unless it is ice cold.
