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.

GT2 (3414) - Washington DC, USA - OCT 27, 2008
Bottle- Export Version. Pours like every other Asian pale lager. High carbonation. Slight hoppy bitterness. Body is light and metallic. Aftertaste is cardboard. Very watery overall. If there is one beer world mantra it is: green bottle = bad. Except for Pilsner Urquell.

Bottle. Smells skunky so maybe I got a ’’bad’’ one. About the best thing I can say about this is it doesn’t taste that bad and doesn’t have an aftertaste.

DrDavid (957) - Johnson, Vermont, USA - OCT 26, 2008
(Bottle). Slight hoppy aroma. Pale golden body, disappearing head. Not much flavor at all, watery, bland, pretty terrible.

petermadsen (390) - Vesterbronxxx, DENMARK - OCT 19, 2008
Light yellow beer. The falvour and aroma are quite hard to describe, as they are very subtle at most. Slight notes of malt and metallic hops and quite strong notes of water. Yawn!

SeanMacGC (330) - Dublin, IRELAND - OCT 18, 2008
Bottle. Pours light golden with short-living head and no lacing. Qiute weak on the nose, of faint malt and hops. And weak and watery on the palate too. Not great.

Pinball (7771) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - OCT 13, 2008
bottle, label does not match the picture at all, but the imported beer claimed to be a tsingtao beer acc. to my notes. i probably spelled tsingtao wrong, as no tsingtao beer exists.. sampled at a chinese restaurant in alcudia spain. aroma-mainly hoppy, sweet notes behind that. appearance-yellow , thick white head. flavor-not very strong flavor. sweet faint hops, sawdusty sweet notes. even though very weak, it is nicely balanced.

Rynoplasty (700) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - OCT 12, 2008
Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is light and of pale malts and a tiny bit of hops. Flavor is pale malt with a small amount of hop crispness. Not that bad.

thooper41 (465) - Oregon, USA - OCT 12, 2008
12oz bottle: A hint of amber with a white fizzy head, pretty much looked like water, aroma might have a hint of malt, flavor slightly malty with a hint of lead. this beer is like a student turning in a test in a class with only half the problems done, all the other big lagers out there may not taste great but they do have taste.
