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.

Pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma of corn and sweet malts. Next to no flavor, some corn and whatnot, but yet another mass-produced lager that is way too abundant in the world.

OhioDad (2491) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - MAY 8, 2005
Pours light yellow with a pretty large white head that settles to about 1/4 inch and laces the glass on the way down. The aroma is kind of skunky. Maybe a little malt and corn in there but the aroma is really not that strong on this one. Tastes of sweet corn and maybe some rice come through in this one. It has a somewhat sweet aftertaste that lingers some. On the palate it is very carbonated yet somewhat watery and thin. Reminded me very much of the standard American brews like budweiser. Nothing worth picking up again by any means.

SpringsLicker (2484) - Tennessee, USA - JAN 8, 2004
Thin beer with off flavors. Not too appealing. This beer has a long way to go to be a drinkable beer.

Mungo (2473) - Southampton, Hampshire, ENGLAND - JUN 5, 2006
Bottle. Grainy with perhaps a little malt. Sweet thin fizzy body. Boring and not really possible to complement it by saying its crisp and refreshing, but at least it was cold.

jredmond (2471) - Manhattan, New York, USA - MAR 29, 2007
UPDATED: JAN 9, 2008 12 oz bottle from Bull Run. This beer has a nice aroma and smooth taste, not much there, but easy to drink.

jsquire (2461) - St. Marys, Ohio, USA - DEC 10, 2008
Very pale yellow beer with lots of loose, fizzy bubbles. I got a big whiff of skunk as soon as I opened the bottle. The aroma had skunk, balloon rubber, and sticky sweetness in it. This is a sweet lager, with corn syrup, table sugar, and cotton candy, with a faint orange note. Really not much to recommend this, unless you like really sweet beer.

Tried at O.C. Not impressed at all. Right up there with Sapporo and Kirin Ichiban. If you like Bud, this beers for you!

Finn (2459) - Tromsø, NORWAY - OCT 12, 2006
Bottle 0,33l. Clear golden coloured. A pretty white lasting head. Hoppy notes. Sweet flavour and no bitterness. An OK lager.
