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.

JohnRMurdoch (1382) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - APR 21, 2010
UPDATED: MAR 14, 2011 640ml bottle from Tesco Extra. Rice & resin aroma. (fond memories of China) Very pale yellow colour, not much head. Resin rice & corn flavour. Watery but sharp lager. Great for washing down oriental food. Not a beer to savour.

Very soft and has some maybe honey taste. On some occasions I taste there just pure alcohol, which is weird. Anyway, very normal taste, nothing bad. Very comfortable soft taste, not at all watery. Though, a bit bitter long time after drinking, and it’s not nice. [330 ml bottle, 4,7 %]

Well, this was a lot better than I thought it would be. It wasn’t awesome, but it wasn’t awful either. The aroma was kind of boring,lightly hoppy, and the appearance was pretty aveagerage for a pilsner (decent color and clarity, as well as a decent head and lace). The flavor I thought was actually very pleasant. I even liked the slightly ricey aftertaste. I was most impressed with the mouthfeell and how it complemented my dish so well (Orange beef with fried rice). It’s definitely not a beer that I’ll have cravings for but I can seeing myself getting it again once and a while.

This beer was good. Nothing really stuck out to me about it. Its one of the few beers that i’ve had from that side of the world and it among the best of them.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - APR 2, 2002
Almost an american premium style. Slight sweet malt with a sweet noble hop finish. A beer well suited for chop suey.

Much like a traditional pilsner. It has a bit of metallic aroma.
