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.

Nice clean aroma, not too sure about the purported hoppiness though. The length of the journey probably doesn’t help. The flavour is initially soft, balanced and surprisingly fresh but develops an unpleasant industrial edge at the finish, probably due to the use of rice. Thin body. Ok for a light lager, but considering the air miles to quality ratio, I don’t see why people would drink this beer.

Mart (211) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 17, 2007
Bouteille. 4.5% ABV. Couleur or pâle et clair, mousse s’estompe rapidement. Arome faible d’houblon et de grain. Gout doux et rafraichissant, encore ici faible, de houblon et de grain. Effervescence moyen corps faible, arrière-gout presque absent. Correct, mais rien à dire de plus.

The aroma is a little stale and like an old shoe and the pour is very pale. However the beer if very smooth and has a very nice flavor. It should be higher rated than Tequiza thats for sure.

Bottle: I sometimes order this instead of Sapporo Black Label at my favorite Sushi restaurant. One day I ordered Sapporo and then Tsing Tao and the waitress was offended and asked what was wrong with the Sapporo. This beer has a pleasing taste with a good heartiness and good carbonation. It is good to cleanse the palate with a plate of sushi.

I only had a couple of sips of this beer but found it to be very average. It reminded me a lot of a bud light/miller lite "i’m just trying to get drunk beer." Although it is slightly better then those listed, its nothing special.

Bontus (481) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - MAY 23, 2009
Bottle @ Chinese restaurant. Pours piss golden with a white shiny head. Honey malty smell with some hops, yes hops! Good first sips but the most dull palate ever. Very dead beer but no off-tastes so decent for a lager.

I used to just drink this beer right from the bottle. Today, I poured into a frosty pint glass. Surprise! Very clear and light in color. Aroma similar to Heineken but not as strong in flavor. A nice and clean lager from start to finish. Goes great with Chinese food...especially a good hot and sour soup.

12 ounce bottle- prototypical lager, pours out clear yellow with a white head, heavy carbonation. Pretty typical taste, kind of light to watery strong on malt, hops virtually absent. Average.
