Carlsberg Black Currant

Formerly brewed at Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Copenhagen, Denmark

I’m rating this beer from my slender memories, since I had it more than a year ago (May 9, 2003) at Ølfestival 2003 (Danish Beer Festival) and wont be able to try it again.
I remember it as a quite thin beer (it is a Carlsberg after all....) but with a distinctive black currant tone in both aroma and flavor. I also remember the beer beeing red colored. An interesting brew from a not-so-interesting brewery.

Red colour. Black currant aroma. Very sweet flavour. Thin and watery. This is probably a Carlsberg Capo with black currants instead of elderberries.

Hmm.. Red allright. Very artificial. But: Øvelse gør mester!

Draught: Red coloured beer. Huge reddish head. Aroma is vague fruity. Flavour is very watery, and the fruit characters is almost not present. May this beer rest in peace.

A red beer. It is pretty artificial and fake. The currant is very (too) obvious. A rare beer.

Sampled draught at the Danish Beer Festival.
Cherry red. Aroma of fruit syrup. Cloyingly sweet, still not very malty. Clean, hard mouthfeel and low bitterness.

Draught at The Danish beerFestival 2003: Carlsberg served this as a "testbrew" made for the Beerfestival. Very low head, red colour, nice blackcurrant taste. Too watery.

A red beer with next to no head. The aroma is also next to nothing. The flavor though is sour black currant, prickling, and a little watery. An interesting beer with a fine black currant taste.
