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.

It’s the Pabst Blue Ribbon of China (even though PBR is available and brewed IN China).

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - SEP 13, 2011
Farblich blass-gelb startet das Tsingtao mit wässrigem Antrunk und bietet einen spülwasser-affinen Mittelteil. Der Abgang ist überraschend abrupt hopfig-trocken und das Beste an diesem Bier. Ein Allerwelts-Gebräu.Test vom 5.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche

SoLan (1550) - Florida, USA - JUN 10, 2007
Pale yellow with 2cm of frothy white head. Lightly sweet, grainy malt with some subtle grassy hops. Light body, a bit more carbonated than balanced. Not much going on, buit what’s there is pleasant. Pairs well with greasy, spicy dimsum.

nate2g (1548) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 17, 2009
Bottle. Pale flat golden with no head visable. Grain and light hop notes. Same flavour. Thin bodied. Light bitterness in the finish. One glass is enough thanks.

boto (1548) - Granby, Connecticut, USA - OCT 12, 2002
OK with Chineese food, but I wouldn’t buy it my everyday brew. A tad weak.

Dorqui (1547) - Brescia, ITALY - FEB 20, 2005
Much compact foam and creamy one; optimal persistence. Discreet scent but without pretensions, to read notes of malt and grass. Much limpid and diamond, persistent bubbly. Fresh and light taste. Balanced with a determined bitter. Unexpected.

Capa (1543) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 21, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2008 Drank quite a bit of this in Shanghai and Hong Kong and it wasn’t bad at all. Crisp, clean flavor with mild hops and some malts. Body is a bit thin, but that actually adds to its drinkability. Was incredibly fresh. I imagine it’s not nearly as good outside of China due to the green bottle, but if you can find it fresh it’s a pretty respectable macro lager.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2004 I enjoy this beer. Clean tasting with a good aroma , nice hop flavor and finish. Perfect balance.
