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.

Green bottle, long journey, ’nuff said! Ok, ok. Pale yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. A touch lightstruck, therefore, the aroma is a bit skunked. The flavor isn’t unpleasant, but has strong notes of corn. Short, crisp, clean finish. Goes decently with raw fish, but probably wouldn’t stand up well on its own.

Best beer from China that i’ve had by a mile, and thats not saying much, went well with Chinese food though, but otherwise i couldn’t see myself drinking it.

(Bottle) Pours a pale yellow color with a foamy white head. Has an aroma of wet grass. Okay for a pilsner...

12 oz bottle—1st 6 pack I got was an outdated batch, which I didn’t notice till I was having the 1st beer from it and not enjoying it too much. The first one fit a number of descriptions I’ve read on this beer, like-skunky, not much different than the US macros, shipping conditions that the beer was subjected to, etc.. The store was kind enough to do a swap for a different 6 pack with a more recent bottling date. So, that’s the 6 pack I will rate as there was a big difference between the 2. Pours a mild yellow, pale golden color, white head that is quite high, reduced to about 1/2 “ and held for much of that beers existence. Aroma is light and citrusy, lime possibly? Along with a sweetness, possibly corn. Carbonation and taste are good, an enjoyable beer.

Golden colour with a small white head. Malty aroma with a cereal note and a light sweetness. Watery taste with some malts and a faint bitterness in the finish.

Pale gold; heavy pearling to huge, frothy, just-yellowish tinted head. Very malty & grainy nose, faint peppery and grassy. Dull grainy taste, with a markedly spring water flavour. Ends gluey and chaff-like. Watery, spring water quality and inexistant palate. Uninteresting macro-lager. Certainly nowhere "well-hopped". Sheesh!

Bottled, Pasteurised. Pale insipid yellow beer, thin head. Thin, watery flavour, a little hop impact saves the day but won't be searching it out.
