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.

Enjoyed in a glass poured from a 5 dl can bought at 7 Eleven in Copenhagen
Golden, big white head. Smells of hay, grain and malts. Body is full malted, much sweetness here and i also find alcohol. Too much alcohol in this one i’m afraid. Some grassy hop notes in the not som bitter finish

I may not be able to forget this beer, but I wouldn’t buy it again... nice enough, sweet malts with a nice hoppy finish, but too much alcohol ruins the taste for me. Lagerboys looking for a quick buzz will enjoy it.

Golden amber with white frothy creamy head. The flavor is sweet, grassy, The 7.2% alcohol will hit you. Best when served cold. I was shocked to see all the low ratings on this brew.

Can in Munich. Grainy, sweet, metallic, alcohol, and piss. I don’t like it, the purpose of this is to get buzzed.

Slightly sweet and grainy/grassy in the aroma, although faint. In appearance it is medium gold. The flavor is grainy and sweet as well and has a slight alcohol presence. Overall this was surprising and relatively decent in flavor.

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - MAY 29, 2011
Optisch ist das Elephant Beer von mäßiger Gestalt. Geruchlich schwach: Malzig-süß. Metallisch. Im Auftakt entsteht zunächst ein öliger Eindruck. Dann wird das Bier zunehmend wässrig mit leichter Bitterkeit, um im Abgang dann das Malz herauszukehren. Alkoholisches Finish. Irgendwie unbeholfen wirkendes Starkbier. Kein Knüller.Test vom 28.6.2007, Gebinde: Dose

VTHopHead (1340) - Barre, Vermont, USA - MAY 24, 2011
Bottle/11.2oz - Pours a golden yellow in color with a very small white head and almost no carbonation. Aroma is medium skunky... green bottle... and somewhat malty with a small amount of sweetness and grassy hops. Flavor is also fairly sweet and malty. Finish is slightly hoppy and slightly bitter. Some lingering skunk... green bottles SUCK!

Smells kinds skunky/stale and doesn’t taste much better. A little grassy aftertaste is probably my favorite part of this one so I’m looking forward to being done with it.
