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. Nice balance of malt and hops in both taste and aroma. Thick white head over top of a pale yellow color. The mouth feel is lite like a pilsner. I didn’t detect a lot of extra flavors, but the ones I did made for a very pleasant beer drinking esperience.

I don’t know why the other reviews are so negative. I found this beer to be crisp without much bitterness at all. I enjoyed it with a healthy portion of Thai food, the heavy spices of which may have made the beer more agreeable. It did seem a little over carbonated, but that can be forgiven I suppose. Probably the best Asian beer I’ve tasted.

Hoppy, sweet aroma, bit of adjunct. Weak but pleasant. Bright amber color with slight head. Medium, watery body and medium carbonation. Crisp and refreshing. Slightly sweet with mild bitter end and after. A nice everyday beer, really good with spicy food.

Extremely drinkable and refreshing with all foods. Perfect for drinking more than one while indulging in a chinese food feast. I really like this beer and often order it when choosing between it and many standard american brews.

What I really liike about this beer is that it has distinct taste to it. Very malty beer has no bitter hoppy aftertaste to it, has a very heineken quality to it. Tastes really good with Chinese food.
