Vienna Lager is a truly delicious beer style that celebrates the flavors and aromas of malt. This beer style is quite similar to marzen, but with less sweet maltiness and toasty character than that style. Vienna Lagers have a much drier, grainy malt character. I have had a few domestic examples of this style, but this by far, is the best example of Vienna Lager I have ever tasted. This beer is so good, after finishing one, you can not help but reach for another. Carlesberg 47 pours to a beautiful, brilliant, amber color with a foamy white head that fades, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is awesome. Grainy aromas of pilnser malt marry with an underpinning of caramel malt sweetness, and grassy hop aromas. The palate is very firm on this beer, with a solid base of pilnser and caramel malt flavors paired with delicious nutty flavors. This beer is crisp and clean on the tongue, with an incredibly smooth body. Carlesberg 47 finishes with more outstanding malt character up front, then ends with a slighty herbal/grassy hop bitterness that balances this beer to perfection. This is a phenomenal example of Vienna Lager, and a true gem of a beer. Beers like this are not easy to brew, there is no room for error, no defect can be hidden behind fruity esters, or a blare of hop bitterness. C47 is a solid and clean lager, and without question one of Carlesberg’s best products

Had it once 13 years ago in Copenhagen. Very fond memory of a nice head, and smooth malt taste. Never seen it in the US. Would buy it in a heartbeat if I did.

Orange to ruby color spectrum, fresh aroma of malt sugar and, sure, apricots. Small hat sits up top, whitish. Clean flavor, smooth, malty, classic well made continental lager. The strongest Vienna you'll ever try, but for the same reason, possibly the best!

Nice colour, sweet, bitter and spicey palate. The plavor tastes like toffee and fruits. Nice altenative to the other ’Julebryg’.

Little white head. Light orange colour. Aroma of malt and oranges. Full bodiet. Good sweet and bitter balance. Bitter, alcoholic finish. One of my favorit Chrismas ales.

Bottle 2005, yellow head, long lasting, clear amber body, malty scent, comfortably bitter because of a good amount of hops. Relatively long aftertaste.

[Bottle from svoger.] Got this served under optimal conditions to real danish decemberfood. 47 has got many different flavors, but today it was just wonderful and now I fully understand why it’s one of the beers you have to sample before you die!
