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.

mikkellund42 (98) - Vejle, DENMARK - OCT 29, 2011
Bottle at Chinese restaurant in Vejle. Pours clear yellow with almost no head. Very light aroma with hints of pilsner malt, corn and rice. Taste is light malty. Not a very good beer on its own, but it is very pleasant with Chinese food.

A light beer, both in taste and colour. Does not taste of much, but what taste there is, just tastes off.

Duhast500 (362) - Exile In Medford, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 14, 2011
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a tasting cup. The color is a clear yellow/orange with a slight wisp of white foamy that disappears quickly. Looks a lot like ginger ale. The smell has a strong rice smell. There is a big of a corn aroma with some slight touches of some pilsner malts. The taste is has slight malt flavor that is surrounded by more rice and corn flavor throughout. There may be a small bitterness that is given at the very end. This beer does not thrill but it does have a smooth feel that seems to slide across the tongue and goes down with little effort.

Jlo7399 (99) - Florida, USA - OCT 13, 2011
Pours clear yellow with thick head and no lacing. Tastes unusually sweet at the end, but other than that, just a cold fizzy drink on a hot night.
