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.

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 29, 2011
Bottle from PF Chang. Pours clear yellow with a thin white head that disappears very quickly. Not much on the tongue except gasseousness. Metallic finish. Ugh!

visionthing (213) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 29, 2011
Bottle. Pours clear and very light yellow. Aroma of skunk and malt. Thin and watery with some malt sweetness. Short and slightly bitter finish. Taste is a bit unpleasant. It tastes a bit like sweetened natural mineral water.

kerenmk (139) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - DEC 28, 2011
pours fizzy gold with some white head. smells like generic lager, tastes like generic lager although the malt is slightly more dominant than in other Asian beers I have recently drank. dry finish, light body.

rjplumer (252) - Providence, Rhode Island, USA - DEC 23, 2011
Very mind skunkiness with a hint of hop sweetness. Very clear yellow and bubbly appearance. Mild bitterness with a mild sour finish that doesn’t linger long. Not too much different from most pale lagers. Nothing really negative but not much that stands out in a positive way either. I wouldn’t pass up it if offered but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

culchiem (847) - Berlin, GERMANY - DEC 23, 2011
Bottle. Light gold with a thin head. Aroma of musk. Light malty flavour, thin watery palate

erickok (798) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - DEC 22, 2011
Served in the green bottle. Think it looks like any other mass lager. Rarely say this but this is definitely skunky. Also has some white sugar notes and wheat. Very light. Taste is even more unremarkable. Could be a Heineken, Stella, Kronenbourg, Carlsberg, anything really. So little character and taste - even while being inoffensive - this can’t be justified. (33cl bottle)

sailracer (190) - Massachusetts, USA - DEC 20, 2011
Bottle. Pours a thin gold with minimal head. A pretty unremarkable beer. Not much flavor of any kind. It isn’t bad, just kind of dull.

   AROMA 4/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 4/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 7/20
beerscout (146) - New Windsor, New York, USA - DEC 17, 2011
Bottle. 12oz. Pours a weak white head, with clear complexion and yellow color. Sweet malty aroma. Malty flavor and sweet texture. A weak, but clean hop finish. Similar to most other lager in its category.
