COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Carls Ale er inspireret af de engelske overgærede bitters. Dog er både malten og humlen af tysk oprindelse og dermed får øllet et mere kontinentalt præg, der passer godt til den danske gane.
Carls Ale er lys ravfarvet med en råhvid skumkrone og har en imødekommende duft af humlearoma på en fin baggrund af nøddeagtig malt og tør harpiks.
Øllet har en blød fyldig smag af malt med toner af karamel. Bitterheden er markeret, men er vældigt godt balanceret i forhold til maltens sødme og fylde.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 2, 2006
An orange beer with a dense light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of brewmash, as well as caramel and nuts. The flavor is sweet - so sweet, that the mouthfeel is somewhat sticky, and with notes of nuts, oranges, and a weird hop note, that I’m not that fond of. Besides being sticky the mouthfeel is also very sparkling due to a high level of carbonation.

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 23, 2006
(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a pretty, clear, reddish amber with a creamy, beige head leaving laces. Aroma of fruit and caramel. Medium body with light, dry caramel notes and again a distinct fruitiness. The bitterness is pretty much absent though. 221106

yespr (22204) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAY 4, 2007
From tap. Pours amber with a short lasting head. Aroma is vague, but slight malty and a faint note of fruit. Flavour is sweet malty and flowery fruity. Medium body. Finish without bitterness. Not bad, just really ordinary.

Dedollewaitor (10292) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 9, 2006
New product from Carlsberg: Brown with little white head. Fruityness and caramel malts dominates here (if anything). The texture is quite thin. medium carbonated. all around allround. The finish is almost not appearing!
