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.

33cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Sparkling straw with one finger white head. Aroma is skunky hops and, believe it or not, watermellon. Very light flavor, yet quite balanced between malt and hops. Medium carbonation. A bit watery. Not bad though.

Bottle 33cl. Drank from the bottle. Hoppy easy and fresh aroma. Taste is about the same, not very special, but certainly drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Pours pale yellow with almost no head. It has a crisp hop aroma. It tastes a little of cereal and hay with no skunky taste. This isn’t a bad beer but it is just another pale fizzy macro brewery lager.

Basic macro lager, a little fruity taste with plenty of corn and rice all over it, no real head. Had a chance to re-rate and while it’s drinkable enough it’s still below average.

Pours gold with thin white head. Smell is malty with hint of skunk. Pretty much a macro ale like you Bud or MGD. Drinkable, but not anything to get excited about.

The first "illegal" I had at an actual restaurant at Ocean City more than a decade ago...this one is going to be more professionally sampled...straw colored, almost "light" in its presentation--an effervescence helps offset thinness and the runny, weak head... yeasty bread dominates with the ping of Saaz hops as its butter--almost hints that something is amiss... presents a bland blanket of smoothness akin to water to the mouth, with little early or late that suggests this is a beer... such a light body leads to an almost phantom taste, a pilsneresque presence minus the snap of Eastern European brew... without really finding blemish, Tsing Tao finishes crisp but not sharp; one senses rice or corn int he tank here, but no skunk infiltrates... stays balanced throughout the 22 oz. bottle, never bitter or malty despite its aroma...

11.2 oz bottle. Dark yellow with no head. Almost no carbonation. Sickly sweet corn nose, malty. Sweet flavor, body is pretty dead. Meh.
