COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Tuborg Fine Festival er en stærk pilsner, der kom på markedet i 1955. Smagen folder sig flot og karakterfuldt ud og er mere præget af alkohol end af sødme. FF, som den også kaldes, dufter af korn med anelser af lakrids og grapefrugt. I glasset står den lys gylden og ravfarvet med hvidt skum.

bager (2121) - Copenhagen N, DENMARK - JAN 23, 2006
Bottle. Not much head - weak pale color. Very alcoholic in taste - killing the other flavours - if there are any. Not in my taste.

stouby (3212) - Holbæk, DENMARK - DEC 20, 2005

Dalle (1145) - Skørping, DENMARK - NOV 5, 2005
Bottle. Golden with small white bubbly head. Malty-sweet, corn, vanilla, alcohol, dry finish, soft medium body. Could be worse, could be a whole lot better...

fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - OCT 25, 2005
Blond color. Quite simple aroma. Chewy strong lager, warming, not wrong, but where is the pleasure in drinking this?

tiggmtl (4516) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 25, 2005
After the journey from Devon to Denmark, from the airport to Jacob’s, hot and sweaty, this one really hit the spot - a real thirst quencher. Ice cold, from the bottle in the unforgettable company of Jacob Lövenlund... Herbal, grassy, lightly vegetal aroma. Clear golden body - I;m going to give it the benefit if the doubt and go for a three for appearance since my gracious host refused to provide a glass since this one is "best enjoyed from the bottle." Sweet, grainy malt flavour with herbal hop notes. Mild balancing bitterness. Light body with assertive, pointy carbonation. Bottle. Thanks, Jacob!

HenrikSoegaard (9126) - Randers, DENMARK - SEP 25, 2005
Frothy good head, mostly lasting, heavy malty aroma, dark yellow colour. A lillte too carbonated.

omhper (17461) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - SEP 1, 2005
Bottled. Bright golden, brief creamy head. Sugar and corn dominates from the nose and on, with sugar getting the upper hand for a while until alcohol starts to take over. The mouthfeel is syrupy, and the finish vodka-like. Utter crap.

hammenlind (737) - Sundbyberg, SWEDEN - AUG 16, 2005
Fizzy yellow, thin diminishing head. Malty nose with some alco hints. Sweet. wet cardboard flavour. Sticky mouthfeel. Unpleasant harsh finish. This one was given to me by a slight-alcoholiced sailor who told me that the best beer place in Copenhagen was the Hardrock Cafe....."They´ve got fuckin´everything"

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 14, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) I remember this used to be my favourite brew, when I was a kid - or teenager, if you prefer. Well, a lot has happened since then.
Fully golden, not much head. Sweetish malt and very alcoholic. Very classical Danish strong lager - a pilsener speeded up with brewing syrup. 050304
