De 5 Gaarde Orla Pils

Brewed by Harboes Bryggeri
Style: Premium Lager
Skælskør, Denmark

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a medium cream colored head. Aroma was weak with notes of grain and pine. Flavor was weak as well with some crisp hops and bready malts.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-white creamy head. Aroma is biscuits, some diacetyl, malts and grains. Flavour is malts, mild fruity notes, slight metallicness and strong on breadyness in the finish. Not too much hops...

Bottled (BB 02/2009). Thanks oh6gdx! Clear amber color, good creamy head. After opening flash of diacetyl, then grains, malt, grass and some sweetness. Crisp carbonation. Quite watery. Beer has sweet maltyness and light peach fruity notes. Low bitterness. Ok thirst-quincher, but boring.

Got this 50cL bottle from Copenhagen and enjoyed in Dublin. Pours golden lager color with a 2.5 finger off-whited head. Doesn’t necessarily smeel of much, just a bit sweet. Tastes of a bit of light malts, some hops, and hint of fruitiness. Overall balance of these tastes is fine, but but overall it isn’t too impressive. I’d maybe give this one another try, but probably wouldn’t be my first choice if able to choose other Danish brews.

Clear golden with large off white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel notes. Sweet fruity flavour with malt and caramel notes. Finished sweet. Good soft mouthfeel.

Bottle. Weak malt aroma with a hint of hops. Golden amber colour with white head. Mostly malt in flavour and some caramel. A touch of hops bitterness.

I’m not a fan of this beer. It’s too sweet, without being very personal in its taste. They try to brand it as a "special brew", but I suggest you avoid it.

50cl bottle. pours pale golden with a white foam. Lots of grain & grass - sweet. Thin palate. Vague hops & metallic notes.
