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.

Clean, crisp tasting with a short clean finish. fantastically refreshing, nothing extra to report. One of my favorite lagers, simple and unpretentious, but its a bit one dimensional.

Typical Asian lager beer. Light, watery, a little skunky. Refreshing with hot Chinese or Thai food. Good lawnmower beer. Crisp and light.

This beer poured with no head and was very light yellow in color. The color, aroma and taste reminded me a lot of Miller High Life. Not a lot going on with this beer, however it would be great after cutting the grass on a hot summer day. Not highly carbonated and slightly sweet in taste.

I see that this beer doesn't get good ratings, but I liked it. Nice mellow beer, light and drinkable. Very impressed with it. Not what I expected from China.

prawlie (474) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - FEB 17, 2011
640 mL bottle from Tesco poured into a pint glass. Golden and with little gas (as poured straight in a couple of goes). Consequently has a good head on it. Nice hoppy and malty aroma. Tastes a bit plain but very smooth. Tastes a bit nicer than most over-malted lager but the flavour is in the aroma rather than the liquid. Tastes reasonable and has a German purity about it (though obviously not Rheinheitsgebot), but could do with a couple more flavours to it.

Usually a beer I order while in a Chinese restaurant. Not a bad beer, nothing really great about it either. I agree with other reviews, does have a slightly skunk aroma, and does have a bready taste. I wouldn’t buy a case of it, but I will order another next time I’m in a Chinese restaurant.

The Tsingtao I’ve had was 4.7% ABV. To me it tasted like another mass produced lager. Nothing special.
