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.

frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - JAN 31, 2006
Golden and flat with a fast white head. A light & grassy skunkiness transitions to light, milky nothingness topped with dusty grains. This actually tasted pretty good, with honey-coated malts and a bitterish, herbal finish. Plus, the flavor did not decline as the beer warmed up.

Tsingtao was actually the site of a German naval base which fell to the Japanese in the early days of WWI. And that’s about the most interesting thing I can say about this beer.

MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 23, 2004
Sample- 355 ML bottle- Poured a short lived white head. It lasted as long as the head would on a glass of cola. Light hoppy taste with the same aroma to match. Went down smooth, and was suprisingly refreshing. Nothing out of the ordinary though.

Immy (1942) - Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA - JUN 22, 2009
11.2 oz bottle. Dark yellow with no head. Almost no carbonation. Sickly sweet corn nose, malty. Sweet flavor, body is pretty dead. Meh.

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2009 33 cl bottle. Norwegian 4,5% ABV version. Golden color, big white head. Sweet aroma, sweet and strange bitterness in flavor.

armando629 (1938) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 1, 2009
Pale yellow body with a small white head. Avarage aroma and flavor of a lager beer. Some sweet taste, some grassy bitterness, so an avarage beer from the other side of the world. But we have thousands of boring lagers, why was that beer delivered to Europe? The market is not enough in China.... Or what?

ABUSEDGOAT (1937) - California, USA - APR 2, 2005
UPDATED: SEP 2, 2005 Watered down lager. This must be the Budweiser of China. Even in America this stuff isn’t very expensive. Don’t bother. There are beers that taste the same (watery) and cost less...

StewardofGondor (1934) - Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 24, 2004
Although it’s a must when eating Chineese, the beer’s not very good standing on its own. Fizzy, golden and an improper balance of hops to malt. This one’s more for novelty sake.
