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.

I have absolutely nothing to contribute about this beer so I will istead mention that this beer was featured in Jean Claude Van Damme’s bloodsport. However, I don’t remember JCVD actually drinking this, there are some pints with some beer in them and Tsingtao bottles near so I don’t think it would be unreasonable to deduce that they had been drinking it. Tsingtao is better than sol and corona but worse than westvleteren. I guess there might be some hops in the taste and something ricey but all this is just wasting air. It is drinkable and works on a hot day but so is water. Well not all water but you get the point.

Light in everyway. Easy to drink and pair with foods. Not impressive though. Attraction would be its utter simplicity.

trapez (1295) - Hilleroed, DENMARK - FEB 20, 2009
Weak malt aroma. Clear yellow colour wit small white head. Sweet, but otherwise an ordinary lager.

bensong (3) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - FEB 17, 2009 does not count
Not bad for a generic Asian lager. A decent, if uncomplicated drink, suitable as an ice cold refresher on a warm day. Predictably goes well with spicy Asian foods as the blandness doesn’t detract from the food.

BroSpud (1124) - , Massachusetts, USA - FEB 15, 2009
Bottle. Very weak watery beer to go with your chinese food. Giving it one point higher than Bud just because.
