2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
50 cl. can @ home, bought somewhere in Belgium. This version has 7,5% ABV. Pours old yellow with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma and taste. Your typical strong lager but I had worse.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden honey brown. Aroma is a faint grass, hop and malt. Taste is of floral alcohol and hops. Somewhat harsh.. can taste the alcohol.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle sample at a tasting at our place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear, rather pale golden with white head. Sweet, blatantly corny and slightly malty. Bitter, slightly alcoholic, then sweet. Sticky, light body, long, sweet finish.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Had this from a bottle in st Thomas, Marriott Lobby Bar. Good crisp and clean German lager. Slightly bitter. Mild hops. Easy drinking
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured almost a finger of head on a clear, dark golden colored body.
The aroma is borderline. It has some nice grain notes but has a damp room smell in the background.
The taste is sweet and moves to sweeter. There’s the mildest bitter note at the very beginning. It lacks a real profile.
The texture is sticky with moderate carbonation... not appealing.
The sweetness and sticky texture make this a "no-go".
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Average color. Almost no head. Nose of grains and skunk. Typical euro hallerteau hops. Skunk, mild alcohol. Did I just really just pay $10 for this 6 pack?? :(
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
33cl Can at Kinepolis, Gent. Straight from the can. Aroma of caramel, quinine, tonic, lime, very artificial. Flavour is bitter, grapefruit/orange peel, sweet lime, tonic, quinine bitterness. Very artificial, but still they state only water, barley and hops on the label. Yeah right.. Crap.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear golden. Aroma of graininess and cardboard. Alcoholic flavor with a bit of graininess and some alcoholic bitterness. Rather light-bodied.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
The head is medium, body red. It smells sweet, sugary, alcoholic. The taste is sugary, alcoholic, stupid. 5/4/3/4/11/4
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ supermarket (auchan). Sono convinto che tra le birre industriali (non tedesche) le Carlsberg siano quelle che più rispettano il senso della birra. In particolare la Elephant , che se non sbaglio nasceva per il mercato africano ed è poi stata usata su scala globale, ha qualche punto interessante. è una strong PILS dal gusto caramellato un bel colore ambrato una schiuma densa e compatta di durata soddisfacente. L’aroma invece è un po’ deludente: metallico, luppolato solo qualche flebile nota dolciastra. il finale è secchissimo, improvviso e luppolato, ma non astringente, solo amarognolo.
