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.

Had this at a local chinese resteraunt. Wasn’t all that impressed but it wasn’t bad overall. If it was a choice between this and something like bud or mich on the menu, I would either choose this or water.. depending on what I was eating at the time.

A nice lager, but I guess we from the west only drink it because it’s from China.

Not as bland as I expected. Actually very refreshing with a decent sweet malty base. Almost no bitterness.

It isn’t a bad brew, but I wasn’t impressed. You can find plenty of American beers that are equal to this pilsner so why buy communist?

Light, wattery, but has a mild champagne dryness. It has sort of a rice taste to it. I can drink this stuff and it’s a got a potent kick to it, but I wouldn’t call it excellent. It’s an average beer- like a Chinese Bud-Light. Overpriced, but nice with a spicy Tofu dish. Little carbonation and light head. Pretty refreshing, but not exceptional.

I expected crap but this ain’t a bad pislner at all. Not too hoppy, which I find often spoils a pilsner. Light and refreshing.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2006 Rerate 10/25/04 Just nothing to really get excited about with this one - just an ordinary Asian lager; thin dry, slightly bland. Slight hop presence. Original 2.8 Not a bad way to kill 10 minutes while waiting for my Chinese take out. Olive oil-like aroma, unusual, but not unpleasant. Little to no head - but what is there has a lot of lacing. Very dry flavor - leaves you thirsty almost! Quite a bite to it. Stays strong throughout.
