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.

If you like German pilsner’s, this isn’t a bad try. To me it tasted exactly like Warsteiner. Not as bad as I expected and definitely drinkable, it’s just sort of weird that most of the Asian countries have adopted German pilsners as their representative beers.

Good with a chinese meal, good wash-down. Fairly watery. Good bit carbonated too.

Presentation: It was poured from a green 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. It has a very pale straw color that is very clear with lots of visible carbonation. The head is thin, white in color and fades out quickly leaving no lace behind. Its aroma has big floral nose with light grainy malts along with a light skunky smell. Despite the skunk in the aroma the flavor is very clean with mild floral and delicate grainy sweetness followed by a mild bitterness in the finish. It has an easy drinking light body with just enough fizzy carbonation to give it some life. Overall it’s a very easy drinking lager with a modest light flavor. Average.

Pours bright gold into a snifter. Bright white head recedes to skim surface and hug rim. Skunk aromas. Crisp and slightly sweet upfront with a sour finish. Doesn’t taste as bad as it smells...

Decent Chinese mass produced beer. Tsingtao means clear island FWIW. solid beer.

Caramel and hay nose. Frothy decent head, lemon gold color. Light malt flavor and mild bitterness, soft and balanced. Bubbly, lightish body, finishes slightly sweet but crisp. Very refreshing and easy lager.

It pours out a rather typical straw yellow, not impressive, but the white head is thick and fluffy and hangs around for a bit. Aroma is crisp and malty, typical for a lager. Flavor is malty with a surprising hint of fruit, making it better than most macro-brew lagers. Texture is smooth and pleasant. Not outstanding, but OK, good as a companion to a meal.

Bottle hundreds of times. Water and locally mass produced hops. If in China go to this. It reliable and sits well with spicy western chinese cuisine if your in Hunan or there abouts. Why do they import this stuff to the US though?
