Carlsberg Lager

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

There was nothing good about this beer at all. It was a poor attempt by a Danish brewer to copy Heineken, which in itself is marginal. This poured to a light yellow gold color, with thin white head that disspated quickly and left little lacing. Aroma and flavor were both almost non-existent, and the palate was stale and tasted like wet cardboard. Pass on this one.

had this lager on many an occasion, standard lager, nothing to write home about

Somewhat weird nose aroma. Excellent appearance. Sexy hop flavor noted with slight malty undertones. Palate is ok. I wouldn’t mind buying this if it weren’t so expensive.

So many great beers come out of Copenhagen, but this is not one of them. There just isn’t much going on here. It is somewhat sweet and somewhat mashie tasting. Of mild interest is the tart/bitter aftertaste.

Like a Heineken, only much worse. Skunky aroma. Odd funky skunky taste with almost soapy like bubbles.

Pale yellow with next to no head. The smell reminds me of festivals. There are also quite a bit cabbage and chemicals to be detected. The taste has a strange bitterness that last about 0,1 sec. After that it’s all malts, a bit of vegetables and a strange sweetness. All in all it’s thin, and uninteresting. But still drinkable.

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

Draught - bright, golden and clear, with a small, foamy white head that dissipates quickly into a thin ring that leaves quite a lot of lacing in the glass. Aroma is quite sweetly malty, but otherwise not much going on. Some grain perhaps, but smells clean. Flavour is also quite clean, which is good, with malt sweetness and a little bit of lightly citrusy hops in the finish with a touch of bitterness. Medium carbonation. Surprisingly adequate, and in my opinion easily better than Heineken and many other "import" pale lagers. Inoffensive.
