Carlsberg Carls Special

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Vienna
Copenhagen, Denmark

Actually an OK beer, but it lacks in complexity, and body. The flavor is good balanced between sweetness and hops, and it has much more hops in the aftertaste than normal macrobrew. The problem with this beer is the complexity. It has a good light burnt caramellish flavor, but it comes out too watery. If this beer had more of everything, it would probably be quite good!

Bottle. Light cola-ish colour and hardly any aroma. Thin but sweetish. Picked up as a bargain but turned out to be sink material to me.

Can. Reddish brown with virtually no lasting head. Nothing much in yhe aroma. Likewise in the flavor. <short finish.

Hot this boy in a plastic bottle... maybe that is why I wasn’t really impressed. A little on the sweet side, but overall nothing special. It is a good walking beer to just drink out of the bottle. Nothing special, but nothing really bad in this beer either, so it is ok in my book I suppose.

Bottle. Amber-golden like color, medium head slightly creamy. Reasonable hoppy and malty in aroma. Maybe some hints of roasted and caramel notes. Medium bodied, with medium sweet flavor. Light sweet finish.

Bottle 33cl - shared with Mette. Amber no head. Malty, light bread, sour/bitter, light berries, light hopped.

Dark amber, low creamy head. Malty aroma. Smooth, malty flavor with hints of caramel and roasted notes. Nice.

Bottled. Amber color, and an off-white head. Weak aroma with some hops, grains and caramel. Caramel, hops and some grain in the flavor, and the finish is weak caramel-sweet and bitter. Fizzy and thin mouthfeel. (061007)
