De 5 Gaarde Orla Pils

An amber pilsner? with a thick beige head - I think this is the darkest pilsener I’ve ever had. The aroma is sweet hoppy with a slight dusty touch from the hops - not too exciting, but not bad either. The flavor is sweet malty with slight notes of caramel, but also a boring note of hops, somewhat dusty, leading towards a somewhat dry and bitter end. The body is watery. I have no idea why this beer is needed in the Danish market - You can get discout pilseners much cheaper and almost as good or You can even get quality pilseners cheaper - this is a mistake.

Bottled. Reddish amber, rich head. Sweet and creamy. Medium bodied with somebuttery malt and clean mouthfeel. Mildly malty with low bitterness. Not only does Harboe prove that they can brew a decent beer if they try, they also prove that they have absolutely no idea what a pilsener is.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with a small, off-white head. Malty aroma. Medium body dominated by malt and vague notes of caramel. Dry finish. Quite a decent pilsener. 210106
