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.

There is something about this beer - no doubt. I’m giving it credit for saving my life once. It was the only drinkable beer around when I was travelling its country of origin. As a matter of factuarial accuracy I should add that the brewery was founded by Germans (which explains why it tastes like a beer).

Clear golden blond beer with a small head. The aroma is light sweet and hoppy. The taste is rather standard lager. The bitterness is light.

Pretty neutral feelings. It reminds me of Peroni or Bierra Moretti, but a little better. I am not exactly sure what makes it better, though.

Aroma reminds me of rice,has little head, but is very smooth. Has a short, fruity finish. Not bad, not great.

Bottle at Green Mango (Thai restaurant). Pale gold with a good sized white head. Aroma is surprisingly not skunky - there’s some sweet malt in there, some vague lemony hops, a hint of rice. Body is light and crisp. Flavour follows the aroma - sweet malt, toasted rice, quick herbal hops. Not amazing by any means, but better than I remember it being. A good match for spicy and greasy food.

This beer is over priced. Kinda skunky.

asheft (2030) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 22, 2005
Bright gold with white bubbly head that lasts for a little while until it recedes into a thin cover. Some pleasant noble hops and some malt to balance it with only a touch of pepe le pieu. Very little flavour that contains some hops and, unexpectedly, raisin and grain. No bitterness to speak of. Light body and good carbonation level.
