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.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Grainy aroma, a bit of hay. Light body. Lightly sweet malt profile, just a hint of floraly hops. Drinkable.

Just as i suspected, nothing to white home about. Boring pale lager. Hardly any aroma, not much taste. On a sunny day perhaps, this could do, but ...

The only thing that I like about this lager is listening to goober try to pronounce it. If you are a 14 year old reading this, please say "CHING-DOW." I will from time to time order this at a chinese restaurant when I’m dining on something really spicy. You see, the ethanol is really the only saving grace to this fluid. Does this brewery really import yeast and malted barley to make this? I didn’t know that China imported anything...

A: The beer pours a pale straw color with lots of visible carbonation and a short lived white head. S: Lots of corn and rice aromas to it, which isn’t really surprising. A light/pale malt aroma and a little bit of flowers and grass. Minimal yeast and bread notes. T: A light bready flavor with a surprising amount of malt flavor. Light bitterness and grassy notes with just a hint of skunk. Sweet grain, particularly from the adjuncts. M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: A light and easy to drink beer. Not really my favorite, but it goes well with a Chinese meal.

Chinese Heineken... you know - Chinaken! Really not great stuff - everything you’d expect out of a lager in a green bottle.

yellow pour with no head just some bubbles on top. very skunky, malty smell. good thickness and would go nice with a spicy meal quite well.

Reviewed from notes. Pours a moderate golden straw color with a white head and a tiny amount of lacing as it goes down my glass. Nose is lightly skunked hops and a bit of grain. The taste is light grain and straw with some mildly herbal hops. Light body with good carbonation. Not a great beer, but drinks well enough. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-24-2010
