Below average.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2012 Can. Clear yellow thin colour with a white head. Light malty aroma with hints of hops. Light sweet malt flavour with some hops if you close your eyes and dream.

Can at Dæmningen 37. Clear yellow - white head. Light malty. Light grainy. Light sweetness. White bread. Almost no hops. Plain. Light carbonation.

Bottle 330ml 4.4% @ home
Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt and grain. Taste is light sweet. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

I bought a 33 cL can of this beer in Iceland and poured it into a pint glass to drink. It had a mostly clear gold color with an average-sized foamy white head that had modest cling and average retention. The aroma featured some grainy and grassy hops, with a touch of straw and a slight floral component. Its taste was fairly sour and bitter with a straw, mash, and grain mix. It had a somewhat wet body with low carbonation and a light mouthfeel.

Rating #382, bottle from Lagersalget @ Grønjordskollegiet

4,4% ABV Version, but the bottle is marked Harboe Premium Pilsner. A very pale yellow beer and together with a head that is limited to unfold itself into a small foam-ring around the edges of the glass, this is probably the ugliest beer I have seen recently. Aroma is vague pilsener malts and grains, but no bad surprises. Taste is actually fine, especially for a macro discount beer! A bit rubber and a lot of grain leading the thoughts towards a refreshing hefeweizen. However, finish is more abrupt, only consisting of a bit bitter hops and an easy alcoholic taste. Really no aftertaste, whatsoever. Thin, light, but soft mouthfeel. No bad surprises in this beer - this is one of the better Harboe beers.

UPDATED: APR 4, 2010 330 ml can. As Harboe Premium Pilsner. From Germany. Thanks Jere!
Clear pale golden colour with tiny/no head. Sweet grainy malty aroma. Flavour is also sugary sweet, grainy malty with some bitter hoppy notes. Pretty decent Danish Pilsener.

Can 0,33. Heavy malty and grain aroma. Huge, frothy, white head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear, yellow body. Light bitter and light malted flavor. Light to medium palate.

Can .5L at home, color is golden, aroma is weak malty grain. Sweet taste - just a bit bitter. Not a bad pilsner.

Drinkable, not so nasty, but stills being a pilsner with not so much to remember.

Canned at PBF. Pale golden, fizzy head. Vegetable aroma. Sweetish and bland with unpleasant flavour of boiled tinned corn. Fruity and sloppy, no bitterness. Well, Harboeish...
