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.

UPDATED: SEP 16, 2006 A nice pale colored lager with bright flavors. Goes down smooth and mellow. No skunky flavors at all. This is a perfect example of a great tasting lager that could easily replace the readily available Europen imports that people think they like.

Gold color with small white head. Very little aroma. Modest malt flavor with very little hops. OK with my Flaming Phoenix.

kidmartinek (1750) - austin, Texas, USA - APR 12, 2008
UPDATED: OCT 30, 2009 Pours pale clear yellow, Large medium-dense white foam head. Just a little bubbling. Aroma is good a skunky at first like a nice pilsenser, but then closer inspection reveals sharp corn malt to the nose. Tastes like sweet sugar water with trace amounts of malt and hops mixed in maybe somewhere, but hard to detect.. Palate is a little tingly. Finish is a little harsh. Tastes much better in shenzhen.

Bouteille, bière blonde commerciale mais très agréable avec des plats relevés de l’Asie. Léger goût de houblon agréable, rafraichissante à souhait. une bonne Lager commerciale.

Ecco, vedi? Non l’avevo ancora saggiata; sono stato astuto a scroccarne un sorso dalla coinquilina che aveva preso cinese al takeaway.

Cybercat (1734) - Georgia, USA - JUL 11, 2008
It pours out a rather typical straw yellow, not impressive, but the white head is thick and fluffy and hangs around for a bit. Aroma is crisp and malty, typical for a lager. Flavor is malty with a surprising hint of fruit, making it better than most macro-brew lagers. Texture is smooth and pleasant. Not outstanding, but OK, good as a companion to a meal.
