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.

FatPhil (5964) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 17, 2010
Bland lagery aroma and look. Palate quite sweet and lychee-like retronasals. Body quite watery, but crisp. Slight papery hops, but not offensive. A touch corny in places, fortunately no poop.

Rastacouere (5900) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 22, 2003
UPDATED: OCT 2, 2003 Very skunky unpleasant aroma. Light rice taste, tolerable, but a little boring, they could at least use brown bottles when exporting to north america.

Sammy (5881) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 30, 2006
Rather watery looking with some initial head. Passable aroma and taste. Crisp and slightly better than expected. Thanks to the broken 6-pak LCBO bin.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 5, 2004
Had this one with Japanese food. Fairly good aroma, half decent taste. Slightly hoppy and citrusy at the finish. I wouldn't buy it again, but not too bad.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 30, 2005
This is one of those beers i walk by all the time and maybe i should have just kept walking. Aroma has soem sort of herbal notes to it, doesnt really remind me of hops. Taste is seriously minimal with the herbs having a play in your mouth. Thin asian lager.

Quack-Duck (5596) - Down South, GERMANY - MAY 7, 2009
bottle, brought to me by a friend, who bought in in Romania... Clear pale yellow, small white head. Malty-sweet nose. Sweetish-malty flavours dominate with hints of rice. Slightly hoppy with hints of cardboadr and dust. Leaves a strange mouthfeel, even after drinking it.

BeerandBlues2 (5591) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - OCT 16, 2010
Bottle. Pours very light yellow with a small, rocky white head, quickly diminishing with light lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, hay, grain, meal), light hops (spicy), and light esters (fruity) with notes of sweat and vegetable. Flavor is average malt (straw, hay, grain, meal), light hops (spicy), and light esters (fruity) with notes of sweat and vegetable. Light body and warmth, medium carbonation, light creaminess with a slick, watery finish.

Ratman197 (5526) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - FEB 13, 2006
Green bottle poured a clear pale yellow with a small, lasting white head. Aromas of SKUNK, under the skunk were hints of sweet malt and floral hops. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of white bread and a faint hint of hops with a crisp, clean finish.
