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.

Actually better than I had hoped for. Poured pale yellow color with white fizzy head, typical beer/wheat aroma. Some kind of rice/corn flavor that balances well with the maltiness. Paired perfectly with a spicy dish of kung pao chicken

Hoppy aroma, though less hops apparent in the actual taste, which was inoffensive but lacking in character as well. A little bitter, and some hops present, but nothing to write home about. I think drinking it close to the country of origin helps (which I’m doing now)--I don’t expect it to hold up so well far from China. Still, I would choose it over certain other mass-market brews, if that was my only choice.

A very average lager. Well Balanced, very smooth. Very American in flavor.

Not a bad beer. Quite golden in colour with a very individualistic taste.

Low , faintly malty aroma. No head and straw coloured. Sweet malt in the mouth quickly disappears in the aftertaste which becomes dry and flavourless.

A little like the sourtheast asian beer, tsinga. You can taste the rice. Still very smooth and lager-y.

I bought this beer just for the fun of it - shipping beer all the way from China to Norway seems like the ultimate absurdity, if the beer isn’t something extraordinary. This beer isn’t. But Tsingtao is not outright bad either - it just isn’t very interesting. Heineken-like aroma, neutral flavour, overly carbonated, no lasting head. Sure it would be refreshing on a summer’s day in China - exporting it to Europe should be considered a waste of resources.

Nice grain in the aroma. Quite a sweet malty lager with not much in the way of bitterness. Not too bad.
