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.

Bottle. Pale look. Not as good as I expected it would have been. Bitter, and a dry finish. Probably would have been better if it had been consumed with food.

Capa (1543) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 21, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2008 Drank quite a bit of this in Shanghai and Hong Kong and it wasn’t bad at all. Crisp, clean flavor with mild hops and some malts. Body is a bit thin, but that actually adds to its drinkability. Was incredibly fresh. I imagine it’s not nearly as good outside of China due to the green bottle, but if you can find it fresh it’s a pretty respectable macro lager.

Aroma is malty and sweet, maybe some grass in there. The appearance is a dark yellow with an orange tinge, a dark color for this style. The flavor is malty and sweet, true to this style, but has a grassy and even spicy quality to it. This mujst be from the hops they use, or they adjuncts they put into it. No much hoppiness on the finish, more spicyness, and grass flavor. Different. Drinkable.

Beerdedone (2180) - Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 21, 2006
UPDATED: APR 27, 2006 Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet malts, skunk, and citrus. Flavor is macro-like thin, corn, grain, and weak.

17thfloor (2265) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 31, 2006
Has aroma of sour apples. Little apple taste as well. What makes this beer is the springwater, gives it a nice crispness.

A very crisp and refreshing beer. Nothing overly complex or interesting. Good for a hot day.
