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.

What do you expect from a beer that you get in a nuddle bar? Too easygoing and mediocre taste.

Quack-Duck (5596) - Down South, GERMANY - MAY 7, 2009
bottle, brought to me by a friend, who bought in in Romania... Clear pale yellow, small white head. Malty-sweet nose. Sweetish-malty flavours dominate with hints of rice. Slightly hoppy with hints of cardboadr and dust. Leaves a strange mouthfeel, even after drinking it.

4/14/2009: After finishing the bottle, I nearly forgot that I had even had a beer to drink! Tsingtao is dry, nearly flavorless, and generally unmemorable. It would be difficult if not impossible to make a distinction between this beer and any other mass-produced macro lager.

12 fl. oz. bottle at Chi Thai Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Rating #980 for this beer.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a frothy white head. The taste is a light mix of hops and a sweet malt. Not much going on here, pretty lame.

Nice colour, thin white head. No retention. Aroma is malty with notes of cardbaord. Flavour is very malty, but not very impressive. It has a good moth feel and carbonation. very crisp and clean. Typical Asian lager. The history of the brewery is probably the best thing about the beer. All in all I think its pretty good. I would rather drink Tsing tao than any Labatt/molson products.

mkel07 (1553) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - APR 22, 2009
330ml bottle. Highly carbonated with small bubbles that stick to the side of the glass in clusters. Thin white veil of foam. Clear and sparkling golden colour with a heavy malt and hop aroma. Crisp taste that is short lived. Feels silky and smooth in the mouth. Low bitterness.
