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.

Bottle and tap. Bottle is my favorite. Golden body. Aroma is classic lager yeast and sweet corn notes. Flavour is as expected, slightly sweet with some corn notes. Asked a chinese guy at Sanlitun, Beijing what TSINGTHAO means, and he reply was: "This Shit Is No Good, Try Another One". But it is not that bad i think.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with a light white head. Lots of carbonation. Combination of malts and corn flavors, perhaps even little rice. Light bodied, about what I expected. It pleasantly compliments the heat of Vietnamese food.

A few of these complimented my meal at Joe’s Ginger in Chinatown NYC......another light lager with little distinguishable character.....tasty and refreshing.....a solid liquid to wash down the bold flavours of Chinese cooking.....it also worked to help remove the stains from an exploding dumpling from my brother’s attire.......just OK.

Yves (1553) - Turnhout, BELGIUM - AUG 4, 2008
Clear golden blond coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Sweet (nuts) aroma. Full slightly creamy palate. Finish is first little bitter later you taste walnuts. Quite longer finish. Special one, I appreciated it very much. Keep the nuts coming.

I liked this beer and think most of the comments for this beer is tainted by personal issues these people have with Chinese people and not the beer. Good taste with a pleasant after taste.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Grainy aroma, a bit of hay. Light body. Lightly sweet malt profile, just a hint of floraly hops. Drinkable.

12oz Bottle My first and last China beer. i don’t buy stuff from China any way. But I had to kill my China rate. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way. This brew was skunk juice mixed with dirty China water.

If you like German pilsner’s, this isn’t a bad try. To me it tasted exactly like Warsteiner. Not as bad as I expected and definitely drinkable, it’s just sort of weird that most of the Asian countries have adopted German pilsners as their representative beers.
