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.

Bottle at Mandarin Gourmet in Palo Alto, where it was that or BMC. Golden-yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of pale malt and grains with the slightest hint of hops. Flavor is the same, thoroughly unremarkable but no worse than you’d expect. Palate OK but a bit watery. Could be worse (cough, BMC, cough!).

What do you expect from a beer that you get in a nuddle bar? Too easygoing and mediocre taste.

bottle, brought to me by a friend, who bought in in Romania... Clear pale yellow, small white head. Malty-sweet nose. Sweetish-malty flavours dominate with hints of rice. Slightly hoppy with hints of cardboadr and dust. Leaves a strange mouthfeel, even after drinking it.

4/14/2009: After finishing the bottle, I nearly forgot that I had even had a beer to drink! Tsingtao is dry, nearly flavorless, and generally unmemorable. It would be difficult if not impossible to make a distinction between this beer and any other mass-produced macro lager.

12 fl. oz. bottle at Chi Thai Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Rating #980 for this beer.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a frothy white head. The taste is a light mix of hops and a sweet malt. Not much going on here, pretty lame.

Nice colour, thin white head. No retention. Aroma is malty with notes of cardbaord. Flavour is very malty, but not very impressive. It has a good moth feel and carbonation. very crisp and clean. Typical Asian lager. The history of the brewery is probably the best thing about the beer. All in all I think its pretty good. I would rather drink Tsing tao than any Labatt/molson products.
