Everyway. Of the European mass market beers this probably sits the best with me. The Danes have a little extra class and any guy that has a strain of yeast named after him can't be all bad. Light gold colour, with white head. Hop and malt aroma, with proportioned hopped bitterness.

Possibly the best lager in the world, and sponsers of possibly the best football team in the world! Joking aside, slightly better than most standard lagers. Serving it ice cold actually seems to make a difference.

Golden appearance, little initial taste followed by unpleasant aftertaste typical of masses no brain lagers

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2006 Oct, 2002 Can A decent enough lager, quite clean with a good malt nose and flavour. Just a hint of subtle hops. Refreshing. Nothing special. [1.6]
Feb, 2005 Keg @ <a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/99/994 Post Office, Chatham Dry, thin and mostly flavourless. What flavour is noticable is mostly cardboardy and stale. [1.1]
Dec, 2006 Soft, mostly inoffensive, fairly bland lager. Lacking in any distinctive nature, it appeals by its very blandness. Foamy carbonation, some butteryness. Compared with Stella and Skol this came second to the Stella. [1.4]

Relatively flavourless and uninspiring lager, enough said.

Yuk

Canned version so no skunk notes to spoil the lack of aroma. Short head and reasonable condition but little to note in the flavour department except to say it is drinkable.

Well, it looks OK! Otherwise another poor lager with no malts no hops and no aftertaste.

Tested on Tap. Good with a Chinese or Indian meal. Sweet flavour, quite high carbonation.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2004 I always find this tastes slightly skunky. A bit of an over-rated lager that I'm less than keen on.
