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.

Tastes more like a 40 than anything else. However, it tastes better than most malt liquors if not all. I think its overhyped, as it is way too expensive for what i got.

For those of you who have never ridden the elephant, let me suffice to say that you don’t want to. Really awful stuff. Picked up a sixer at the local grocery outlet. Should have gone with the jug wine.

Floral, hoppy aroma. Somewhat cloudy appearance with decent head retention. Decent flavor with a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet aftertaste. Some alcohol warming. A little like other malt liquors I have tasted, only better.

Forms a nice and, considering the brewery, a formidable and long-lasting head. The aroma is quite sweet, with an assertive maliness and a little hop-thing. The taste is not that sweet, considering the style, but quite balanced and, in fact, easy drinkable. I managed to pour 5 of these babies in under 60 minuttes on one occasion (a bit juvenile, but it really proves the drinkability of the beer. Or mayby just bad influence from my buddies...) Anyway, it’s not bad, and far better than it’s lousy reputation.

Bottle. aroma is of skunky hops, tastes is fairly bland, tastes like a typical euro macro. Seriously do we need more boring green bottled macros? If you haved one you have had them all.

Aroma of skunk, sun-struck hops. Taste is skunky with a nauseating malt sweetness. The only positive thing I can say is that the alcohol is masked fairly well.

Dark yellow with a white head. This could be a crap lager, but definitely has mat liquor sweetness to it, which I do not enjoy. Balanced by respectable bitter hops, something like Heineken. Overall, not enjoyable. Picked up a 6 of this from the Safeway in McLean, VA.

Dark yellow, disappearing white head. Grain, grass and weak alcohol aroma. Sweet, somewhat malty flavour with nothing to balance it.
