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.

Not as bad as I was expecting. Actually has somewhat of an interesting malt flavor, but not a great finish and fairly thin and headless.

I had some of this at a chinese buffet and was pretty impressed. I thought it was reasonably smooth but was a little skunky. I was impressed for a chinese beer.

This is not a bad beer if it is fresh. It beats water on the sweaty dance floor of life. Classic rice beer. light with little else to say for itself. Beats the American macros.

Usually skunky, but not as bad as some. Fairly OK for putting out Szechuan fires.

Average pilsner, nice balance, good aftertaste, not too bad

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JUN 28, 2002
Roast grain and slightly skunked aroma. Medium gold and fair head, fading to a border lace. Bready, sweet, grainy. Above average pilsener. I was ready to savage this beer, but was pleasantly surprised. Very German/Czech tasting, though lightly hopped.

Light fruity nose. Light front and mid. Light grainy end. Can be found fresh in the L.A. area, so quality was not bad at all.

Suped up typical lager. Aroma seems to be missing. Has a crisp distinct taste that makes it stand out. Evidence of hops is present and the beer relaxes on the sweet adjuncts. Taste different and distinct but overall a bit boring.
