Carlsberg Festival Bryg 2007

Formerly brewed at Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Copenhagen, Denmark

Draft. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty and very grainy, but also with light notes of straw. The flavor is rather sweet with strong notes of straw and grain, leading to a dry and very bitter end. The body is a bit on the thin side, but all in all a very refreshing beer. This is a fusion of a Kvass and an ale (probably a bitter) - I think the fusion works quite well.

(On tap) Clear, fully golden with an off-white head. Fairly neutral aroma - perhaps a vague, malty touch. Light and malty body with distinct notes of ginger. Heavy on CO2 with a subdued bitterness. 110507

CBF07 sample from tap. Pours clear orange. Aroma of hops, malt and honey. Flavour of soft malt and some honey it seems. Finish is creamy mouthfeel and a rather soft malt flavour without being overly sweet.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Clear golden. Perfumy elderberry aroma. Sweet and light bodied. Very perfumy, with an artificial touch. No malt to back the elderflower and citrus, and no hops to forgive it. Low bitterness.

Draught at KØ07, (Sommer Kvass Ale). Hazy copper colour with small floaties. Small stable head. The flavour reminds me mostly of rye bread with some roasted rye. Anis aftertaste.

Draught. Clear golden coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts, fruits and grain. Flavour of fruits, honey, herbs and hops.

Københavnske Øldage 07. Draught. I was told that this bees is a mix between a Kvass and an ale. It’s golden, malty with light fruity notes. The flavour is mostly malty, slightly sweet with light notes of flower and fruit. It’s pretty thin and boring. 2157
