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.

thirdeye11 (3909) - Dallas, Texas, USA - APR 5, 2010
(330ml bottle) very pale yellow with oily white head so afraid of the beer it runs away quickly. Nose of apple and that’s it. Is this a cider? Taste of cereal grains, butter, light apple and old. Nothing Terribly offensive and nothing good. Light body but not too watery with decent carbonation. Not terrible for a pale lager but not good at all.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 28, 2002
UPDATED: JAN 19, 2003 Pleasent, light flavour. Good with chicken or fish?

Suttree (3759) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - NOV 12, 2002
Well, It goes well with food, in the sense that it doesn’t have enough flavor to interfere with it. Not bad in any specific way; It’s just once you get past the ’Hey! Chinese beer!’ factor, it isn’t terribly unique.

caesar (3722) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - AUG 19, 2004
Clear yellow color, short head. Weak aroma of rice. Bit bitter taste, very watery.

Good example of a nice far eastern beer, pilsener in every aspect.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - MAY 30, 2009
Appearance: Pours out a brilliant, light yellow body with a frothed, white head. Smell: Initial skunk whiff. Let me do the Jumble and I’ll be right back. Alright, now that that’s blown away, we can get some faint maltiness, cereal sweetness, and a light touch of plain floral hops. Taste: Faint maltiness with some standard cereal sweetness. Very mild floral hops with just a minimal, though growing amount of bitterness. Finishes dry and clean with a dainty crispness. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Just another forgettable, faceless lager from China that makes me really wish I had some Chinese grub to pair with it. Mongolian Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, Moo Goo Gai Pan -- bring it on. Heck, I’ll even go for Broccoli Beef!

From ?. Bottled, 110411. Just turned yellow with white head. Aroma of nothing. Flavor with some malt and hop notes. Watery palate

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JAN 5, 2008
Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget, Munkebäck, Göteborg, Sweden. Pale golden with a medium fizzy head. Contains rice according to the label, and there is some kind of oily, pear-ish, sake-like maltiness to it. Light in body with spritzy carbonation. A bit sweet with a tiny bitter touch in the finish. Not good, but decent.
