Tsingtao

I've only had it once in a Chinese restaurant on a Bike trip out West. It was an okay beer if memory serves. I may order it again if I can find it, just because it is fun to say. However, if the item-description is correct and this is in fact a German beer, then it does not hold up to most German brews.

It's good. . .but it's a great beer to start a conversation with a smart girl who you want to impress with your travel stories. . . It's a better conversation piece than a beer. Try it just to say you've tried it then move on. . .

This is the nastiest crap I have ever come across. It kind of reminds me of that taste you get when you throw up in your mouth. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills. How could this piss in a bottle get such good reviews????

In my opinion, Tsingtao is nothing mind-blowing, though it is a solid good-quality beer. I think that the reason I do not like it more is because it is a pilsner. It is crisp and refreshing, but I am just not big on pilsners. As far as Asian beers go, I prefer Asahi (which is Japanese).

Tsingtao always goes good with Kung Poa.

German lager, made in China. Better than any of the American big brewery lagers, but no better than average as a beer.

Good with our version of Chinese food. Otherwise there is no reason to drink it.

Good with Sweet and Sour Pork...

I THINK OVER ALL THE BEER IS PRETTY GOOD. IT TASTE LIKE A GERMAEN BEER TO ME. TRY IT...YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT :)

Again never had it

Good stuff if you are eating chinese food.

Not a bad beer for China

Interesting flavor, light in nature beer.

Comparible to American macro-brewed products like Bud, etc. but with a little more character. A good enough choice with Chinese food if the choices are limited. A bit watery.

Not bad, but not one of my favorite asian beers.

This is a malty beer that the Germans transplanted into China. Tsingtao was once a German colony before WWI.

Garbage, like everything else from China.

A great Japanese import!

on my list of far-east beers, Tsingtao ranks below Tiger and Soporro.

I agree with magu. It is a good beer but I usually drink something else

Every time i have chinese food, i have tsingtao, the two are inseparable for me. The beer is a fair example of a germanesque lager, nothing extra-ordinary, but well made nontheless.

Insipid adjunct-laden Chinese pale lager. This doesn't even aim to be good beer.

I love this stuff. Very well balanced taste that goes great with food. Has a slightly sticky, ricey sweetness that I really enjoy. Very distinct and characteristic brew. Where's the pepper steak?

EH, I never heard of this beer EH? You dudes should try a nice, frosty budweiser.

Very light. Good with Asian food.

A good clean, crisp tase with no after taste. Served at lots of real deal Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley section of Southern California (which has a considerable mainland Chinese population).

Best of the chinese beers, has a nice malty sweetness and not over carbonated. This beer was fist brewed by Germans living in China, the style is that of a pilsner. The alcohol level is that of a light beer but it's not a light beer so it loses a star.

The beer is okay. But if you ever get to Tsingtao take the tour of the brewery. It's incredible, the highlight being watching 156 yr old Chinese delivery men strap fifty cases to their rickety little bikes and ride away.....

Goes well nicely with Chinese food. I'd rather have this than the big brand lagers.

Good beer made in the mold of a German pilsner.

Nothing dramatic about this beer: just a nice, solid drinkable product, but not at all earthshattering.

The only Place I would or can order this one is a chinese resturant. Served to cold and mostly tastes like water!

The only reason I ever drink this garbage is because I love ordering it. When this Chinese beer is pronounced correctly you're saying something nasty in Spanish.

ugggh I can't believe Tsingtao is rated this high. I can almost swear they put formaldahide in it for the bitterness.

As much as I love the Northern European beers (Grolsh, Urquell, and Stella), and as much as I love the American specialities (like Sam Adams, and Sierra Nevada), I've got to hand it to the Chinese that they did things right with Tsingtao

Yeah baby, yeah!

Extremely tastey and rich!

This is truly one of the world's best beers - try it if you can, it's a wonderful experience - strong texture and a proper level of alcohol content

Like Dos Equis, this beer is based on a German recipe (German immigrants usually build a church and a brewery as their first contirubition to a new land) For me, it comes out as a winner. Anybody know the *correct* pronunciation? Tsing-tao, Ching-doa?

Not bad! Although, I had trouble with the food, the beer had to taste good! Better than green tea all the time.
