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.

Pale golden color with thin white head. Mild cereal grain aroma with hints of wet hay and citrus. Thin bodied with light mouthfeel, plenty of effervesence. Light sweet malt taste with gentle, crisp, somewhat dry hop finish. Very refreshing, great session beer.

08.04.2011. 0,33l Bottle. Spesialbutikken Vaaland. Pale yellow colour with white head. Hoppy aroma with nice balanced bitterness. Refreshing beer with very nice aromatic fresh hops. Aftertaste is bitter and lasts at least for a while. Good lager.

While not a great beer, Tsingtao is definitely serviceable. Best drunk out of a bottle or poured into a beer glass, avoid the larger versions. Tsingtao is not the bottom of the barrel, but it does elevate itself slightly above the crowd of awful beers below it.

unclemike (1363) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - MAY 4, 2008
12 oz bottle. Poured light golden color with thin white head. Little lacing. Aroma was slightly skunky, but detected sweet notes as well as some hops aroma. Taste was better than expected, slightly sweet and bitter. Kind of reminded me of a pilsner. Palate was somewhat thin however

crabcakes (20) - Duluth, Minnesota, USA - SEP 3, 2009
A refreshing and sweet beer. Not particularly light and not particularly hoppy. This is a great entry into Asian been as it is readily available. Not necessarily the best Asian beer readily available, but readily available none the less.

Nothing special but goes down nice. A bit watered down which makes this a perfect session beer to pound as you cut the grass.
