A pilsner like all the rest. Some hops some malt, but not enough. Yellow, medium head. Low price. Better than a normal carlsberg Hof.

Bottle.50cl. The aroma is the best part of this beer, but all downhill from there, good head, metalic, skunky, fine bitterness, short aftertaste.

Beer 102 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/21/06 on draft @ Marriott Copenhagen restaurant. Not a terrible average brew.

Drinkable bit sweetish maltish brew. Rather waterish but then again its a discount brew.

Mildly grainy and sweet with herbal leafy notes. Clear deep golden body with thin, white, fully diminishing head. Bland mildly sweet malt flavour with moderate bitterness. Watery and strongly carbonated light body that is fairly unpleasant. Sampled in Copenhagen.

An orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel and hints of metal. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw, metal, and caramel. But the body is thin.

Golden color with a small white head. The taste is a little sweet with some artificial notes. Rather boring.

If you say it's made by Carlsberg..then..Ok. It's a supermarked-chain-beer, priceworthy and OK. Fruity all the way through, and a spicy aftertaste. Better than the average danish pilsner.

Actually a nice brew for a low price. If this beer was more accessible I would buy it often. Average quality for an under average price.

Pale gold clear with medium size head and light lacing. Medium light sappy hops and malt aroma. Light even soft body with tangy bitter start, malty middle and back to bitter for the clean dry finish. Light on for flavour and palate stimulation but still pleasantly refreshing. refreshing
