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.

Not good at all. I just had this to post a Chinese rating. Bitter, harsh, highly carbonated.

kidmartinek (1750) - austin, Texas, USA - APR 12, 2008
UPDATED: OCT 30, 2009 Pours pale clear yellow, Large medium-dense white foam head. Just a little bubbling. Aroma is good a skunky at first like a nice pilsenser, but then closer inspection reveals sharp corn malt to the nose. Tastes like sweet sugar water with trace amounts of malt and hops mixed in maybe somewhere, but hard to detect.. Palate is a little tingly. Finish is a little harsh. Tastes much better in shenzhen.

Was the only option I had in a Chinese restaurant once and I actually liked it. Maybe it was because I thought I’d hate it, but it wasn’t bad. I’d certainly get it again, but not something I’d go looking for. I’ve hear of it being skunky.

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - APR 6, 2008
Yellow color and clear with a thin head. Off smell with a little hops and a touch of malts. Taste is weak, water with malts like tea.

Jmichael (640) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - APR 2, 2008
into pint, had at a chinese restaurant. Was not bad, better than most macros, and went well with the food, served its purpose as a sessionable companion to the food.

FatTony (143) - Augusta, Georgia, USA - MAR 30, 2008
12 ounce bottle- prototypical lager, pours out clear yellow with a white head, heavy carbonation. Pretty typical taste, kind of light to watery strong on malt, hops virtually absent. Average.

littlecarp (135) - Redding, California, USA - MAR 30, 2008
Thin, malty, lively on the tongue with a weak attempt at bitterness in the finish. Similar to a Budweiser.
