Hancock Old Gambrinus Beer Light

Brewed by Hancock Bryggerierne
Style: European Strong Lager
Skive, Denmark

Bottle at home. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Sweet aroma of malts, honey and alcohol. Sweet flavour of caramel and hops with notes of alcohol. Hoppy and burning alcoholic finish.

Clear golden color with a small lasting white head. Aroma: Malt, sweetness, alc. Taste: Malt, straw, very sweet. Alc very present. Not that bad, but to one-dimensional.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Sweet aroma containing alcohol malt and hints of caramel. The sweet and somewhat boozy flavour turned out the same way. Boozy finish. Alcohol to present.

Looks like an average lager. ruity aroma. A strong alcohol edge, some apricots. Well balanced between sweet and dry, but it lacks something extra.

Light bready aroma. Large frothy, white head. Good lacing. Clear yellow body. Light bitter flavor with alcoholic notes. Medium palate.

Unexpected bottle shared with my Dad. Yellow gold with a diminishing white head. Nice Czech-style fresh bready aroma with noble hop, leather, honeyish malt and faint cherry stone alcohol notes. Clean biscuity malts, hints of flour and lemon, solid bittering hops. Some alcohol glow, but kept well in check by the hops and malt. Pilsy strong lager of some finesse.

label looked sort of foreign, so i expected something belgian, quite surprised to see "skive-denmark" in small letters.. having been already surprised i determined to investigate the label even further... also in small letters.. "light" darn... if this is a low-alc beer, and i thought i heaved a belgian out of the fridge, i’ve been cheated (by myself). ABV acc. to ratebeer 9.6%.. okay.. new meaning of the word light, that i might not know of... clear yellow, small white head. looks quite humble. aroma is a little alc, and not much else. smells like a macro. flavor is sweet, caramel, alcohol, sugar, sweeter part of green fruits, not much bitterness as such, aftertaste a reduced version of flavor. actually okay, but one you might mostly go for, to get drunk ;-)

Bottle at home. Dark yellow/orange with a small head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, sirup), moderate malty. Flavor heavy sweet, light b itter, and with the alcohol wery present. Full body.
