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.

Soapy, rather unimpressive Chinese beer. Pronounced ’Ching-Dao’ if you wanna order it in a Chinese Resterant and look classy. Of course if the place has Budweiser, you’d be getting a better beer, and that ain’t saying much.

Best beer from China that i’ve had by a mile, and thats not saying much, went well with Chinese food though, but otherwise i couldn’t see myself drinking it.

This should be called ’China-ken’. Very similar flavor to Heineken, but more skunky.

Chineese Light. This has a nice aroma that comes off much stronger than its taste. This is quite light and crisp.

I love ’Ching-Dow,’ especially with Chinese food. It is a great beer for what it is, and I am rating it as such. It smells nice, and has a rich golden color and thick mouthfeel. It is what regular beer should be.

I don’t know why the other reviews are so negative. I found this beer to be crisp without much bitterness at all. I enjoyed it with a healthy portion of Thai food, the heavy spices of which may have made the beer more agreeable. It did seem a little over carbonated, but that can be forgiven I suppose. Probably the best Asian beer I’ve tasted.
