Carlsberg Semper Ardens Abbey Ale

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Copenhagen, Denmark

750 ml bottle. It’s got a lot of taste! But the blend of them is not harmonic enough. Some fruit, some sweetness, even some metallic taste reminding of hefe-weissen from Bayern. It’s OK, but not worth the high price.

I’ve been wanting to rate this for quite some time as it is probably the beer, that sparked off my beer interest, and it really isn’t too bad although I’ve since had many both better and more interesting beers - a good first step though. Brown beer with a small pale head, that quickly faded. Slight touch of hops in the aroma, which is dominated by sweet malts and bananas. Surprisingly watery which I suppose will make it very easily drinkable, but my own palate now goes towards heavier brews. Notes of toffee, malts and (again) bananas in the flavour. Hardly any finish to it.

Brown with light brown head. Pronounced aroma and taste of caramel. Unimpressive.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Orange brown colour. Very hoppy aroma, hints of bread. A little sweet. Average finish but a little watery.

A beer with malty aroma. Creamy off-white head good lacing. Body clarity is cloudy with a red colour. Moderate acidic initial flavor. Good palate.

Muddy dark amber color with okay head. Full and xmas-like with orange and malt.

Hazy and red-brown body, with a fresh aroma with hints of hops and fruit. A soft flavor with hops and hops, that unfortunatly never reaches the far corner of the mouth. A good danish beer inspired by the belgian abbey ales.

Bottled(700ml). -cooper coloured, little head, strong fruity aroma with strong banana and mild toffee notes with great spicy hints, very good and easy drinkable abbey
