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.

12oz Bottle My first and last China beer. i don’t buy stuff from China any way. But I had to kill my China rate. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way. This brew was skunk juice mixed with dirty China water.

When you are a kid, and you go to a Chinese restaurant, and your dad lets you get a beer, this is what you get. It’s exciting because you’re underage (maybe 16 or 17) and you are drinking Chinese beer. But that’s about all you are getting.

A strange beer that had weak tastes but really quenched your thirst and had you coming back for more to get the flavours.I didn,t mind it at all but nothing tops.

Sparky (2128) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - MAR 11, 2008
Bottle from Cost Plus. Pours a light golden color with thin white head. Nose has a bit of hops and grassy overtones. A bit skunky. Palate is slightly sweet with just a bit of hops bitterness and a slight skunky aftertaste. This is a yardwork beer. You could slam a few of these after coming in sweaty from mowing the lawn.

BeerLimey (2112) - California, USA - JUL 20, 2004
Pale yellowy appearance, slightly hazed, moderate head formation. Malty, grainy, lightly hopped aroma. Sweet malt intro, slightly coarse and grainy. Dry in the finish with a mild bitterness. Fairly simple, acceptable in a Chinese restaurant.

Pours a pale yellow color. Kind of grainy and skunky in aroma. Has an artificially sweet grainy flavor. A little metallic.
