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.

Light golden colored pour. Had a malty, grassy aroma to it. Had a hoppy, sweet carbonated finish to it. Not bad.

From a 12 oz. distinctive Tsingtao green bottle with no freshness date served in a standard pint glass. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear pale straw yellow with a nice white bubbly head that reduced to a minimally sticking thin lacing. Had largely a clean aroma, a faint graininess and floral hops. Overall, medium carbonation and a thin medium bodied mouth feel, average drinkability. Clean tasting, a smooth graininess and a light sweetness, just a touch of a sulfur yeastiness, a soft hop bite towards the crisp bready finish and a lingering soft sourness in the aftertaste.

Pours a nice golden yellow. Aromas of malts, hops. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

kinda water for me. But I liked it enough to buy a six pack later. I’m more of a European Beer guy.

VitaminR (540) - Colorado, USA - JUL 12, 2008
Caramel and hay nose. Frothy decent head, lemon gold color. Light malt flavor and mild bitterness, soft and balanced. Bubbly, lightish body, finishes slightly sweet but crisp. Very refreshing and easy lager.
