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 used to just drink this beer right from the bottle. Today, I poured into a frosty pint glass. Surprise! Very clear and light in color. Aroma similar to Heineken but not as strong in flavor. A nice and clean lager from start to finish. Goes great with Chinese food...especially a good hot and sour soup.

Not bad at all for a macro-beer. Not much of a head. Aroma has a neutralness. The taste is not too memorable but I did enjoy its smoothness.

Nothing about this impressed me. I guess I should have expected it, considering it’s a lager made in China. I guess the novelty couldn’t put something of quality into my bottle. Very average. It could have said beer on the side. It’s beer at best, and not good beer.

Pours clear with a slight amber color and a very white foamy head. Malty grassy aroma. Taste is clean and crisp with some malty hints. Not my favorite, but not terrible.

I can’t believe I used to "like" this beer. Very very odd. Pours a crystal clear yellow with a small ring of white foam around the top. Aroma of apple cider, which, funnily enough, is exactly how it tastes. I don’t know if it was my batch/bottle/glass but I could swear it tasted like a cider/beer hybrid. Very odd. Undercarbonated and thin. Some notes of alcohol. No aftertaste. Done and done.

well, 12 ounce bottle from Oliver’s beverage. Green bottle which is their first mistake. Pours very light, no head, skunky. Im pretty well convinced that Milwaukees best has a plant in China and they bottle under this name. Please, find anything else if it is available.
