2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20 Fatehunter (752) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - MAY 2, 2013
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".

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?? :(

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.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Silvan7 (135) - Samarate, ITALY - APR 23, 2013
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.
