The Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ) lists Tsingtao Beer as a blond lager with 4.5% degree of alcohol, much higher than the bottled beer on sale in Qingdao itself, which carries a label that says it is about 3.2%.
Beer Advocate says it is 4% and gives the beer a 65 rating, calling it an American adjunct lager. Alternatively, Wikipedia calls it a pilsner, which is a pale lager.
The best place to get some fresh, delicious Tsingtao Pijiu is on the Beer Street in Taidong (Shibei district) in Qingdao. Summertime beer in a bag can be quite tasty too.
Ganbei and enjoy.
