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.

Pours a pale yellow with a grassy notes a a light malt. Funk is evident in the first taste followed by honey and little else. Pretty average strong lager.

This beer sucks my ass. It was so bad i had to give it away. All you can taste is alcohol. It is a malt liquer and tastes like one

Average. Pours a nice golden wheat sort of color. Head doesn’t stay really amount to much. Aroma is of grain, very earthy, maybe a little citrus. First taste is of a little hop bite and some skunk. The green bottle does not help this beer out. Overall an easy drinker, but not really much to get excited about. Average for the style, nice kick to it, but just average.

This godawful porridge has been rated by my fellow "experts" as being twice as good as bud light. I’m drinking it right now. It tastes like they put Mickeys in a can with 40 pennies at the bottom and somone froze the beer, then got it really, really hot, then repeated the process 40 times and served. I did talk to The Penguin after I drank it, so its not ALL bad.

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.

I would say that this beer is to Heineken as Pepsi is to Coke; same kind of funkyness with just a slightly different aftertaste.

was expecting another good tasting clarsberg with a stronger alcohol content, well i was right about the alcohol content but apart from that this beer leaves little else but a vile aftertaste. Appearance and aroma were fair, the initial flavour not bad but after 3 of these you can do with something else. not the worst ive tried but wont be in a hurry to buy it agen in the forseeable future
