COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Carlsberg Elephant er en såkaldt ”Bockbier” og blev brygget for første gang i 1959. Den er vinøs og frugtig med smagsindtryk af æbler, melon, banan og karamel afbalanceret af en tør bitterhed. Du fornemmer også antydninger af egetræ, bark, nødder og fyrrenåle. Farven er lys gylden med hvidt skum.

English: Carlsberg Elephant Beer is an amber-coloured beer with big intensity in its aroma, and with a distinct maltyness. There is notes of honey in the aroma. The palate of Carlsberg Elephant shows a good balance between a good body from the alcohol, and a discrete sweetness which is tamed by the sophisticated bitterness of the aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle. I wasn’t expecting much with this, but it is better than I expected, and to me, conisiderably better than its rating would suggest. Poured in a Pilsner glass, there was a large foamy head that actually lasted quite well and left some pretty good lace over a ever so slightly hazy gold liquid. Light sweet biscuity aroma, with little evidence of any hops. The body is light, but not watery, and is complimented by a lively effervescence. there is enough hop bitterness to balance out the light malty sweetness for a finish that is dry enough to quench the thirst.

slightly better taste than the regular lager, with a bit mor epunch, same look, smell, etc. but a bit more carbonation.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - APR 2, 2007
bottle - Pours clear yellow with a thin head and a sweet malt and corn aroma. The very sweet flavor seems to have corn adjuncts. The body is thin to medium and the carbonation fairly light. The sweet finish is mildly warming thanks to the higher abv. Meh.

almosi (280) - Viña del Mar, CHILE - MAR 26, 2007
(in can, 33 cl.). Clear, golden beer. Not much aroma, and the taste is like a common lager, some more hops, and a alcohol taste, little. There is no much that to say of this beer. It is a flat beer.

I used to pick up a few bottles of this on the Germany-Denmark ferries before i got back on the tourbus. They helped knock me out for the trip to scandinavia. It is sweet, but not unpleasantly so. Slightly malty. Good. I like it, but i feel my judgement may be clouded by circumstances.

Bottle, 33 cl. Yellow color, white head. Aroma: malt and alcohol. Taste light hops, sweet, little bitter. Light to medium body. Not a great beer.
