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.

Didn’t expect much, but have been hitting some of these asian swills lately. Bottle opened with a strong skunk smell. Color was pretty light, yellow with a very slight off orange tint. Huge head merley from the artificial carbonation and it subsided just like a soda (some lacing throughout, though). Mouthfeel was decent for a swill and the flavor was corn malty with a mild (pleasant) hop finish that would be typical of a weak Pilsner. Wasn’t a great beer, but I’ve had worse.

Thin head on pouring, dissiaptes quickly. Hints of grass, and lemon. Noticeably malty and good hoppy flavor. Comes across as rather flat, but feels frothy in the belly.

Decent Chinese mass produced beer. Tsingtao means clear island FWIW. solid beer.

Bottle. Pour was a bit skunk, but when I let the head settle, aroma mostly mild hop. Certainly can tell the adjunct used in this one is rice. Flavor isn’t bad, and when cold, nice pair to Chinese food.

Bottle @ Chinese restaurant. Pours piss golden with a white shiny head. Honey malty smell with some hops, yes hops! Good first sips but the most dull palate ever. Very dead beer but no off-tastes so decent for a lager.

I used to just drink this beer right from the bottle. Today, I poured into a frosty pint glass. Surprise! Very clear and light in color. Aroma similar to Heineken but not as strong in flavor. A nice and clean lager from start to finish. Goes great with Chinese food...especially a good hot and sour soup.
