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.

Introduced to this at a Chinese place in Newport. A good match with Chinese food, I don’t think I would drink it as a stand alone.

I like this beer, it is light and refreshing still tastes very good, a bit malty and very nice, mild hops.

Very full flavored lager, was expecting a lighter style beer but was pleasently suprised with this beer. Goes great with asian spicy food.

arrogantb (899) - Denver, Colorado, USA - DEC 18, 2009
12oz bottle at a Chinese restaurant. Golden color, no surprise there. It didn’t have much smell in the glass at all. The flavor was surprisingly better than average with a fruitiness that I was not expecting from a macro Chinese lager. Great beer to pair with hot and sour soup.

A basic, slightly sweet lager reminiscent of honey, oak, and grass. Best suited along side of spicy or salty food.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2011 Nice sweet lager that has more flavour than the usual European ones. Most Chinese restaurants serve it.
