Carlsberg Lager

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

Half decent for a session. Slight smell of grass and a touch of skunk, not unpleasant though. Taste is hoppy and a bit bitter.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, de maïs sucré avec des notes herbeuses, de légumes bouillis ainsi que des traces d alcool métalliques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen mais croustillant ainsi qu une texture aux notes aqueuses et sirupeuses. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné dun léger goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de lentrée en bouche suivi dun goût de maïs plutôt sucré puis en finale lon retrouve un léger goût herbeux (faibles notes de houblon herbeux). Post-goût court et aux petites notes sèches, aux petites notes amères de houblon herbeux avec une petite sensation métallique.

Feb 2, 2007 Can in Amsterdam. Eggy smell. Hoppy, eggy and watery taste. Just another lager, but macrohouse. Quite poppy with lots of mouthfeel.

This reddish yellow lager poured with a frothy white head that quickly dissipated and a floral aroma. There is a flat skunky flavor with some bitterness at the finish.

Draught as Carlsberg Export @ The Papermill A.K.A. Paperchase, EC2. Typical grainy malt, metallic hop pub swill, immortalized as fizzy piss by Tom at The Wenlock. Has replaced Kronenbourg as my weekly fizzy (pale) yellow lunchtime beer when I’m out with my work mates, so from one Carlsberg brew to the next it seems. Apparently, so good the Danes hate to see it leave, I think it’s more out of embarrassment myself...although I still regret not having one at the pub adjacent to the brewery during EBF.

Bottle from the famed around the world multipack from my sister. Clear yellow with small, creamy, long lasting white head appearance. Aroma of corn and yeast and some hops, all very light though. Flavor is light lager with some malt backbone, hops as well, actually not all that bad. Creamy medium body. This is better than some of the others that ive been tasting but stephanie says "i can’t drink any more of these corny lager."

Obviously so mass produced this lager is everywhere. There really is nothing good to say about Carlsberg. Ive never wanted more than 2 pints before.

Mild hoppy nose with hints of citrus. Sweet aromas. A pale yellow appearance with a rocky white head that disappears. Flavours of weak hops and malt, some bitterness. Virtually no aftertaste. The only really good thing is that its extremely easy to drink, and refreshing when cold. Probably not the best beer in the world.
