Carlsberg Carls Hvede

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: German Hefeweizen
Copenhagen, Denmark

Hazy orange color, short frothy head. Aroma of faint hop, some wheat, some banana. Bit sticky taste of wheat, bit bitter.

Bottle. Was massively wheaty and a tad Belgian in flavor, Shady orange color, white head. Kind of bland.

Hazy yellow/copper with huge white head. Lot’s of hay, malt, orange, banana and a touch of bitter/sweet taste. Fresh and rather pleasent.

Bottle. A golden, hazy wheat with a nice head. The aroma has promising notes of banana and fruit, but then I taste it. The flavour is lightly sweet and has weak notes of banana, just like someone poured a pilsner in a wheat. IMO it should have far more power in the flavour, and Royal Weiss is a far better choice among the mainstream wheats. 1584

(KEG & Bottle 33 cl.) A hint of bitterness and sweetness, but only a very small hint. Very plain and boring.

Unclear dark golden with no head. Aroma seriously reminds me of ashtray...its the 3rd time im trying to rate this one, thought i had a bad bottle last two times but still the same. Taste is quite different from the usual german weisse, its more bitter and not quite as sweet, i find it abit harsh. Not a brew i enjoy

[Draught at Carlsens with Bo long time ago.] Surprisingly nice and fresh wheat, better than expected and sad that it loosed to DARK in the "internal Carlsberg contest". You can still buy it and good for that.

Small head, no bananas or cloves, and what happened to the at-least 50 %-wheat- in-a-hefeweizen-rule???? A very puzzling beer from Carlsberg. Small head, strange wheat-taste and low carbonation.
