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.

Didn't seem hoppy enough to be a pils but it did have more flavor than I expected. No head. Aroma is minimal, grassy. Not bad with the Chinese food.

Cybercat (1734) - Georgia, USA - JUL 11, 2008
It pours out a rather typical straw yellow, not impressive, but the white head is thick and fluffy and hangs around for a bit. Aroma is crisp and malty, typical for a lager. Flavor is malty with a surprising hint of fruit, making it better than most macro-brew lagers. Texture is smooth and pleasant. Not outstanding, but OK, good as a companion to a meal.

Good clean crisp, not at all a bad beer, good but slightly lacking in the taste department, but good, some lacing head, funny enough, it went down very easily and smooth! the bitterness is what i liked, and not to carbonated so its easy drinking...

I Thought that it was much worse. This beer is much light one, from the light body, nearly deprives of stuttura. Drinkable

Golden body. Nose is classic lager yeast and sweet corn notes. Flavour is expected, slightly sweet with some corn notes. Mouth clears fast, great alternative to brown ales for food pairing. [ching dao, if you are wondering]

I can see why this lager is usually found in Chinese restaurants as it is a good match for big spicy meats. It looks like a Molson Golden with its transparent body and its lighter taste, which pales in comparison to a good tripel...but it has its place too..

Bottle, small stable, clear pale yellow colour, herbal aroma with some malty notes, medium pleasant bitterness with some bready sweetness. Nice drinkable lager.

Bottle. Not great but decent lager. Slight metallic taste to me. It was a good fit with spicy Chinese food.
