Carlsberg Capo

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

Serve in Flute

No head, brown red color (comes from added elderberries). Light taste of fruit and sweetness but without complexity no hints of that this beer holds 7.7% (beware). Not as good as the Semper Ardens beers, but definetly better than most of the mainstream beer we get from Carlsberg!

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2003 I think it's a fine beer for a summerday. With ice?? Has a aroma of fruit, strawberry?, and the same flavor. Give Carlsberg some credit for trying something new.

Red color, no head, quite thin. If you want to get drunk easyly without worrying about the heavyness of the strong beers this is a good beer to do it. This beer does'nt get my vote for the "Carlsberg 2003 beer election"

I like the taste of this one. The head dissapears too quickly, 30 sec. after pouring it looks like something at a child's birthday. Very light for a 7,7% beer.

In the description its sold as red in the colour and sweet in the flavour (In danish red and sweet rhymes). Well, and what do we get. Yes its reddish in the colour, but personally i see it as light pink. There is a quickly diminishing head. The aroma is weak with some faint notes of malt. Its hard to find elderberries but they are there. The flavour is the same. Faint notes of malts and nearly no taste of elderberries. Very watery. Some bitterness and alcahol burn in the palate. Not my kind of beer.

Pink. Very carbonated. Spiced with elder berries, i think they are called. Why do they launch a beer like this during winter? Decent refreshing summer beer and an OK attempt to make something out of the ordinary. That deserves some credit.

A very watery taste, and there is to much carbondioxide in the beer. A fairly OK taste, though it doesn´t last long

Looks and tastes like cheap Lambrusco. Too much carbon dioxide.
