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.

Poured a pale yellow liquid with a medium sized white foam. It was very watery and didn’t have much taste,

Tripplebrew (714) - Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA - SEP 24, 2009
Pours a clear light yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus, yeast and grass. Flavor is nutty in flavor but a watered down nuttiness, notes of vanilla. All falvor is very watery. Body is extremely light with high carbonation.

This is my first Asian beer. Wasn’t too impressed by China’s effort, but it was better than I expected.

Bottle. Pours a lovely pale gold with a very small and ephemeral head. After just a couple of seconds I’m wondering if it was even ever there. Aromas of skunky hops assault me from a distance and closer inspection confirms that these are burying any other odors except for a few whiffs of apple juice that are scurrying for the exit doors. Flavor is poor... a bit of apple juice, some adjuncty-lagery malt and those damn hops seem to have fled while the getting was good. I’m not sure about this "spring water from Laoshan." I don’t really know if it added anything, and I’m begining to think it might be a simple marketing trick... Even so, if they handed these out for free at work I’d probably drink another.

Stellaaaa (213) - Tennessee, USA - SEP 5, 2009
Pours a golden yellow with a sweet, corny aroma. It tastes of sweet, corny malt and slightly bitter hops with an overall sweet characteristics. This isn’t my favourite, but it’s a good beer nonetheless.

crabcakes (20) - Duluth, Minnesota, USA - SEP 3, 2009
A refreshing and sweet beer. Not particularly light and not particularly hoppy. This is a great entry into Asian been as it is readily available. Not necessarily the best Asian beer readily available, but readily available none the less.

drank from the bottle: Tastes pretty much like Heineken, though perhaps a bit smoother. You can taste the rice lager. But still its an easy drink and its still beer. I got it in a trade for some of my cheap homebrew, so I can’t complain.
