Carlsberg Pivo

Formerly brewed at Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Copenhagen, Denmark

More DDR than Czech...in my opinion. But that doesn't mean it's bad. It's better than most danish pilsners in any case. It's NOT International Standard Lager! Too heavy for that, and there is a sweetness deep into the aftertaste that I really liked. A good try...but....try again.

Golden colour, firm head. Discreet malty aroma. Well-balanced but discreet hoppiness. Not an outstanding beer but a plain and simple pilsener without any bigger flaws.

Nice try Carlsberg but no luck. This is NOT a czech lager. More like an international standard lager. Good to have but nothing to lose.

Small white head, golden colour. Aroma and taste has a nice hop-bitterness. A little citrus, flowers, grass. Nice body - full for a pilsner. Better than the avg. danish pilsner.

Golden color. No aroma. Somewhat bitter. To much carbonation. International Standard Lager.

Golden yellow, with a firm, but quickly disappearing head - so far it's prefect for a pilsener. Fresh, but weak hoppy nose. The hops also dominate the aroma. Cleaner and crisper taste than most Danish lagers and good bitter finish, but not that extraordinary.

There's just nothing special about this beer. Novel idea on Carlsberg's part with the competition, but this beer loses. Not too different from the other common Danish Pilsners.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Grassy, lightly oily aroma. Bold mouthfeel, and certainly not dry enough. Harsh finish with not enough bitterness.
