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.

Suprisingly a quite good lager from china. Nice refreshing beer. (Bottle 33cl 4,7 alcohol % in my version)

Not a bad beer, just not a very good one. If you need something to wash the General Tso’s down and nothing else is at hand, reach for this.

Bought this in it’s can form. The beer pours a nice gold color, nice amount of carbonation. The beer smells malty, the taste is bready with a good malt sweetness to it and finishes with a weak hop bite. This is a good pilsner style beer and I drink this regularly, it pairs very well with chinese food.

beervana (781) - Libertyville, Illinois, USA - APR 15, 2006
(03.28.06) 12 oz green bottle purchased from Tomokazu restaurant, San Francisco International Airport, CA and labeled as “Tsingtao Export.” Poured golden yellow with small white head. Frizzy carbonation. Sweet malt in the nose. Light bodied pils-style Chinese lager that starts with light malt sweetness and corn/nutty flavors. Finishes dry and clean with light malt fade. No discernable hop presence. This is a refreshing crisp lager that went well with salmon teriyaki. Relatively speaking, this lager is more flavorful than Bud but not malty rich and flavorful as Czechvar.

Pours bright gold into a snifter. Bright white head recedes to skim surface and hug rim. Skunk aromas. Crisp and slightly sweet upfront with a sour finish. Doesn’t taste as bad as it smells...

Pinball (7771) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - OCT 13, 2008
bottle, label does not match the picture at all, but the imported beer claimed to be a tsingtao beer acc. to my notes. i probably spelled tsingtao wrong, as no tsingtao beer exists.. sampled at a chinese restaurant in alcudia spain. aroma-mainly hoppy, sweet notes behind that. appearance-yellow , thick white head. flavor-not very strong flavor. sweet faint hops, sawdusty sweet notes. even though very weak, it is nicely balanced.

chimpscampee (566) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 18, 2006
A bit of acidic grainy wheat/straw alcohol bite. More flavour than raters are giving it credit for (or maybe it just the chinese food aroma that has given me thirst and hunger)

Rynoplasty (700) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - OCT 12, 2008
Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is light and of pale malts and a tiny bit of hops. Flavor is pale malt with a small amount of hop crispness. Not that bad.
