Carlsberg Capo

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

Serve in Flute

A pink beer with next to no head. Not a color for a beer. It only has a faint aroma. The flavor is very watery with notes of the berries (hyldebær) - a very light drinkable beer - ending on a slight bitterness. Not really a beer for a beer lover.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, reddish colour (like strawberry champagne), no head whatsoever but lots of carbonation. Slightly sweetish from the added elderberry juice with only a vague hint of bitterness. Unpleasant tang of brewing syrup. More soda pop than beer. 190103

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to red with a fizzy tan head. Thin aroma yet with berry notes. Thin bodied. Flavour is thin too with a light bitterness, mild metallic malt note and berry fruity. Ends with a mild bitterness and somewhat dry.

Very strange bright red color, like a grenadine drink. Veeeery light grenadine aroma. Some body strength, but absolute lack of character, and a disappointing palate, mixing fuitness and bitterness.

Not a good beer! Reddish/pinkish colour. Thin, fizzy and nasty. Light alcoholic touch.

A pink-ish golden colour is a clear sign that this is something different. A refreshing fruity taste with only the bitterness to remind us that it's a beer. Must be perfect on as an after work beer on a hot day, but not something I would drink a lot of. I do think it's great that Carlsberg dares make such a beer though.

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.
