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.

Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - FEB 18, 2006
Bottle. Light honey body with no head. Nose-sweet adjuncty skunk. Taste-mildly sweet, not a big adjunct taste, no skunk. This beer is not surprising in what it has, it is surprising in what it is missing-no burnt plastic, corn, rice, skunk, or bitter taste. Very mild with just the right amount of sweetness. SURPRISINGLY good!

Okay, you don’t make beer and I won’t try to make Chinese food. Sound like a deal?

jaghana (1800) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - JUN 30, 2010
Bottle 33cl. A clear yellow beer with white head. A very basic lager, not exceptional with low body but easy to drink, very common.

Aroma is malty and sweet, maybe some grass in there. The appearance is a dark yellow with an orange tinge, a dark color for this style. The flavor is malty and sweet, true to this style, but has a grassy and even spicy quality to it. This mujst be from the hops they use, or they adjuncts they put into it. No much hoppiness on the finish, more spicyness, and grass flavor. Different. Drinkable.

You’re in Chinatown in London and Tsingtao is absent on your personal ratebeer list, what do you do...? That’s right, you drink this crappy lager! Not even that bad btw, nice alternative after all these bitters.

Bottle, given to me.....FREE...... I drank half of it, just weak with little to no taste. I have become a beer snob I am told.
