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.

Very very pale in color, hardly any color as a matter of fact. Aroma has a grassy sourness to it. Mouthfeel is watery and a bit light on the carbonation. A bit sour. Not offensive but not good; just like most beers of this style.

Bottled (66 cl, 5% ABV). Golden with a white head. Cereal aroma. Light bodied, and a strange kind of rotten flavour. Light bitterness. Not good, though I had worst beer.

i’m sure this has been used before but tsingtao must be japanese for green bottle skunk. tastes like the skunky crap you most often get in green bottles still not as bad as the american crap i’ve had. it did go well with the sushi for some reason, though

Refreshing flavour with mild bitterness. Has a farily smooth finish. Malty aroma and watery golden colour. I buy this on occasion, becuase it always surprises me.

Bottle in frosty glass, at Chinese restaurant. Straw colored, and poured so exactingly by the waiter as to leave no head (I seem to recall medium-sized head when I poured as normal). Typical skunky lager aroma dissipates quickly into barely-there floral scent. Taste initially nuts and hop, then malt, with nuts winning out, but not much to either side. Slight sweet aftertaste. Doesn’t have the "there’s a headache coming" taste that American lagers have, but that may be due to no teenage-years overexposure to this beer. I swear I can taste rice in the bottom. OK beer; just now learning at 45 I’m not a light lager fan.
