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.

Fairly indistinguishable from all the other beers that look and taste exactly like this. I don’t know what else to say.

Bottle. Very light amber with decent white head. Nice malty aroma with a weak bitterness. Flavor is rather sweet malt and some alcohol. Average finish.

This beer has a lot in common with the usual pale lager. There’s almost always a bit of skunky metallic-ness, and this has that in the aroma, along with some sugar, grain and corn. Tastes pretty similar, but surprisingly not light, and it has a strong hoppy finish. Bitter, but not piney or citrusy. This beer washed down my roast beef sandwich pretty perfectly, and I think that’s the best context for this.

strangaj (245) - West Chester, Ohio, USA - JAN 12, 2007
Pours with a cloudy orange tint. Aroma does not have a cirtus hint however, but instead is quite malty. The taste has a full body, much like other carlsberg varieties and finishes with a lingering taste of yeast. Not bad for a malt liquor I suppose though I don’t enjoy the aftertaste.

LyndaNova (524) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 8, 2007
Cold 11.2oz bottle: Pours a hazy light golden orange color with a small amount of alabaster bubbles around the edges. Aroma is of light sweet malts, grassy hops, lemon and honey. Taste is of an excellent blend of sweet malts and grassy hops. Light bodied, smooth and well carbonated. Ending is of earth, lemon and honey.

Volgon (2698) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 8, 2007
Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head, grains and grass in the aroma, starts and ends lightly bitter, long grainy ending with light fruits, solid carbonation and medium bodied. Surprisingly good.

BLAAAH! Drain pour. Don’t know if this is a lager or malt liquor as the label says but it was awful. This should be consumed from a 40 oz bottle.
