| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 16, 2004 Pours an amber color with a small white head that doesn’t last long. Aroma was slightly malty. Taste was a little bitter, i was expecting it to be a little sweeter and maltier from the nose, but it didn’t meet the expectation. Ok lager, a bit better than i had expected. GreatDane (100), Ballerup, Denmark

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 8, 2004 Light amber color, foamy little head. Bubble gum nose, but not to sweet. light bitter taste, watery taste. It doesn't hurt but it is really boring. pivo (2535), Germany
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 1, 2004 Musty-ish nose, slightly sweet; clear amber color; rocky head. Weak body - slight toasted malt. Late-arriving bitter, slightly chemical-like at the very end. Thinish. Impressive showing for a macro, but I'm not convinced. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 25, 2004 One of the best danish "christmasbeers". Caramel and fruit dominates the aroma. Alcoholic aftertaste, but nothing that destroyes the overall impression. JorisPPattyn (5171), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 31, 2003 Clear amber-red; yellowish head, creamy & dissipating. Nose with caramel, cookies and a fruity smell - rosehips? Taste much less sweet than nose promesses. Bit meaty taste (& mouthfeel). Again some faint perfumey flavour - quinces or rosehips all the same? Rather refreshing for a rather big ale. Yet a certain "fleshness" in the mouthfeel. But the finish, apart from the quince-pine flavour is empty, sweet and thin. For a megaconcern as Carlsberg-Tetley, this must be a tour-de-force. Imagine brewing a beer with actual flavour! Probably the most difficult beer in the world.
