Commercial Description:
Pasteurised strong lager.
First brewed in 1959. Sold in a 330ml bottle in 1989 as "the beer you will never forget". In May 1996 Elephant Beer was repackaged into an emerald green 275ml bottle.
UK version is brewed at the Carlsberg Northampton brewery.
Carlsberg Elephant Beer is an amber-coloured beer with big intensity in its aroma, and with a distinct maltyness. There is notes of honey in the aroma. The palate of Carlsberg Elephant shows a good balance between a good body from the alcohol, and a discrete sweetness which is tamed by the sophisticated bitterness of the aftertaste.

Esperava muito mais dessa famosa loirinha. Talvez minha nota baixa se deva ao excesso de expectativa...

Bottle @ Les Brasseurs de la Grand Place, Brussels ’08. I got nothing from this beer, a huge disappointment to be honest. Pale yellow colour, unexciting head. Aroma is grassy / metallic / wrong! Taste was forgetable / alcoholic. Not good.

Such a famous brewery and such a bad beer... The bottle looks good. The beer is tastes very strong and alcoholic, absolutely not drinkable. Bad stuff!
