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.

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.

Kind of skunky, light, watery, pale, forgettable. Blame the green bottle I guess.

Bad news. Smells and tastes like grass clippings thrown up from my rottweiler. No hops, malt, head or lacing. Generic ginger ale look without the bubbles. Run away from this one.

"The finest beer from China." Let’s see how this goes. Pours the typical straw color with rapidly disappearing head of a typical American macro. Smells of something not hops or malt. Maybe corn/rice? Reminds me of the Beast. That smell magnifies when you drink it and it actually has a watery aftertaste. I never thought that would be possible. Coors Light and MGD slap this thing silly. Save your $1 and don’t buy it.

Yellow to clear, light, white thin head, only slightly hoppy in aroma and flavor, slight hint of sweetness and malt, a nice balance, refreshing, a bit lacking in complexity and flavor for me.
