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.

355ml bottle. Bottle in Canada at 5% ABV so I hope we’re following the rules here. Had it some time ago from the NSLC, I remember kind of liking it and thinking it reminded me of a fresher Eurolager. I’d try it again if I had the chance.

andregoncalves (195) - Lisbon, PORTUGAL - NOV 14, 2011
bottle at corte ingles, lisbon. You can get it at almost any chinese restaurant. Golden/yellow color. Lively carbonation. Cereal aroma. Thin texture. Almost no head.

From a bottle - pours golden yellow with thin white head with an immediate detection of a skunk smell but that seems to go away after a while. Has a taste of grain and corn and is well carbonated. This isn’t something that I would go out of my way to drink but I like it with cheap Chinese takeout or at the restaurant.

Clean, crisp tasting with a short clean finish. fantastically refreshing, nothing extra to report. One of my favorite lagers, simple and unpretentious, but its a bit one dimensional.

Ecco, vedi? Non l’avevo ancora saggiata; sono stato astuto a scroccarne un sorso dalla coinquilina che aveva preso cinese al takeaway.

Bendrixian (357) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - NOV 3, 2011
I only rate this one because of my time in china. light colour. dank smell, lots of funk and skunk and classic pils notes. tastes are light and somewhat sweet. boring stuff but i remember this being cheaper than Orange juice over there so can’t complain about that..I’d rather have this beer than OJ any day!

Bottle. Sweet with a small hop bitterness in the end. Quite lame, but not bad tasting.
