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!

madsberg (7568) - Søborg, DENMARK - MAY 25, 2003
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.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 22, 2003
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.

mwesth (279) - Skovlunde, DENMARK - MAY 22, 2003
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.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 14, 2003
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.
