Carlsberg Carls Ale

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Copenhagen, Denmark

Bottle. Dark amber like colour with a creamy off-white head. Head was average with a frothy appearance. Lacing was good, and head longevity was mostly lasting. Body appearance was clear and normal with density being thin like. Aroma was very nutty, bread (rye bread), light toasted with some candies and caramel notes to it. In mouth some mild wood notes and dry fruits come into play as well. Flavour is medium sweet. Medium bodied with a sweet finish. Palate were texture was light syrupy like and carbonation was lively. Quit good for a Carlsberg…he he

...so they made an ale, and I know a guy who kind of like it, but he prefers Carls Lager...

Draught. Fruity aroma. Unclear dark amber colour. Small but creamy head. The flavour has a bit of roastiness, getting and then sour. The flavour is not fruity.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a pretty, clear, reddish amber with a creamy, beige head leaving laces. Aroma of fruit and caramel. Medium body with light, dry caramel notes and again a distinct fruitiness. The bitterness is pretty much absent though. 221106

Bottle. Amber colour with a nice reddish head. Aroma of malt, caramel, hops and fruit with some bitterness in the end.

Bottle. Clear amber coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Flavour of malts, caramel and hops.

Bottle. Aroma of fruit and dishwashing. Reddish brown with a fair head and some lacing. Some fruitiness at first in the flavour but gives way to grainy malts.

Pours a dark amber with a lasting head. Aroma makes you wonder if it’s an ale as does the taste. The fruitieness is very subdued and the hop flavour and aroma is odd and a bit hard to detect.It’s overcarbonated and leaves the impression that the brewers at Carlsberg somewhere in the brewing process forgot what they were doing (ie. brewing an ale) and went back to their old habit of brewing weak and boring lagers...
