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.

Green 12oz bottle. Bright yellow and very clear. Aroma of water and some hop. Body is very light and refreshing. Well balanced. The Chinese sure did make an inexpensive mock-up of A Premium Lager with this one. exceeded my expectations!

Bottle at Mandarin Gourmet in Palo Alto, where it was that or BMC. Golden-yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of pale malt and grains with the slightest hint of hops. Flavor is the same, thoroughly unremarkable but no worse than you’d expect. Palate OK but a bit watery. Could be worse (cough, BMC, cough!).

Pours a nice golden yellow. Aromas of malts, hops. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

Good clean crisp, not at all a bad beer, good but slightly lacking in the taste department, but good, some lacing head, funny enough, it went down very easily and smooth! the bitterness is what i liked, and not to carbonated so its easy drinking...

I was anything but impressed with this beer. Not recommended unless you are truly into Pilseners. It poured a small sized white head that was smooth with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body had very, very little carbonation and it was clear with a yellow hue. The nose was malty as was the flavor. The palate was tingly and watery and light bodied. The lacing was very sparse.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 18, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 20, 2011 This was the first and last time I will try this beer. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a straw yellow color with a small soapy white head. The aroma was sour and skunky. The flavor was sour malt, skunk, and a bit corny. The mouthfeel was surprisingly thick which was the only redeeming quality I could find. Drain pour. ANY BREWER WHO CONSENTS TO PUTTING THE BEER IN A GREEN BOTTLE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVER BREWING AGAIN!!!!!!!�

Bullit (3196) - Burgos, SPAIN - AUG 15, 2007
Pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma of hops and some rice. Taste is light malty and hoppy, quite watery. Accompanies well with chinese food. Average beer

phaleslu (3178) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 26, 2010
640 ml bottle my brother brought back from South Korea. Not exactly a rarity here, but the label and size were unusual. Pours a clear, very pale yellow with a head that starts strong and fizzes out quickly. Huge skunk in the aroma, along with some corn, grass, and wet grains- nasty smelling. Flavor of grass, seaweed, skunk, wet paper, grains, corn, and rice. This is just really, really bad.
