Carlsberg Lite

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

500mL can from the BS, for shits n’ giggles. Pours a nice golden colour with a large white head, a deeper, more normal shade of gold than most other shitty ’lite’ beers which usually look like seltzer water. The aroma is nowhere near as offensive as I thought it might be, just minor grainy pale malts with a small touch of skunk, suggesting there may have actually been real hops used in the brewing process. The flavour is very faint and fizzy but decent enough for what it is, okay pale malts, refreshing a crisp. Not as nauseating as I was worried it would be. Some tinny hops and a salty spriz round out the experience. Not anywhere near as bad as it could be.

This lager poured a golden yellow colour with next to no head at all. Scents include corn, corn and more corn. First taste is smooth but watery with lots of corn flavour. Not bad tasting but boring typical corporate muck.

500 ml can, "license brewed" in Norway by Ringnes (which is 100% Carlsberg owned). ABV is 4.1%. Pale yellow colour, big to moderate white head. Moderate carbonation in the glass. Sweetish aroma, notes of candy, grass, grain and cooked vegetables. The very bland flavour has some very moderate malts and not much else, hardly any hops in the "empty" finish. Not awful enough to be undrinkable, but utterly boring.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a small white head. Has a sweetish fruity grainy aroma. Fruity malty grainy flavor. Has a sweetish malty finish with some grainy hints.

Light golden colored with little vanishing white head. Lemon and apple in estery aroma, weird one. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor has even more apple with with watery note, aftertaste dries with some lemon. Well, not too good.

330 ml. green engrenved bottle, praticly no label A: clear golden colour, white head, non lasting. S: skunky hops, fresh, inviting T: watery, refreshing, some hops, M: thin; it’s a lite lager D: easy summer drinking, not better than the local beers.

Can 0,5l. Pale golden colored – almost yellow. A rapidly disappearing creamy head. Faint fruity aroma. Flavor is definitely lite – like water. No bitterness.

can 33cl from superbest allerød. very clear golden, large unstable white head. faint, faint aroma. what i get is very slightly sourish hoppy something. flavor is ever so slightly sourish and a little sweet from corn. very slight aftertaste bitterness present which morphs into metallic aftertaste. mouthfeel is disturbingly bubbly and watery at the same time. the sugar sweetness gets to me and i end up thinking it’s not THAT bad after all. refreshing summer-at-the-beach beer for those who don’t really facy a good tasting beer anyway. competes well with sol and the like.
