This Ale took inspiration from the English brown ale style and has a fruity character. It has a complex taste with toasted notes. The dark brown color reminiscent of mahogany. In describing the scent, one must turn to the world of wines where it resembles to the Sauvignon Blanc grape.

Draught @ Jacobsen bar, visit Carlsberg. Poured dark brown color with a thick white head. Really bready on the nose, toasty caramel malty notes. Sweet bready malty flavor with light hops and biscuity notes. Fresh and balanced.

New English style brown 'ale' (or so it is sold) from a 75 cl bottle with crown cap, bought at a Delhaize supermarket. Medium thick, lightly lacing, creamy, egg-white, fairly dense head slowly dissolving in the middle and all but vanishing in the end, over a cristal clear, ruddy bronze beer with coppery hue. Aroma immediately breathes that 'freshly ironed cloth'-like smell of pasteurization, quite heavily weighing on impressions of hazelnut shells, iron (and not in a very natural way), hardened butterscotch but less sweet, minerals, toasted white bread, canned corn, dried apple peel, industrial caramel sauce, dried out tea bags, wet dog, very old dusty peanuts. Very spritzy onset, minerally and souring (over)carbonation, very low in esters, just some basic 'malt fruitiness' vaguely reminiscent of fried apple peel but not much else, subdued sweetishness with a dull sourish edge, some residual brown sugariness but superficially so with no stickiness whatsoever. Stings of numbing carbonation continue over a slick, bit resiny, rather thin, superficially butterscotch-like malt body with sweetish corn-like edges - feeling like a strongish pale lager blatantly simply coloured and flavoured with syrup, which is probably close to the truth. Does develop a bittering toasty edge towards the end (in a notably unrefined, if not harsh way), as well as a hint of a more spicy, 'dried' floral hop bitterness; minerals keep lingering and that 'hot cloth'-like pasteurization effect creeps up retronasally alongside the dried flower-like hop accents. Ends with the same very simple toasted bitterish maltiness and ongoing, quite burp-inducing overcarbonation, and feels a bit thin in the end for a 6% ABV beer; the bitterness - or anything else in this beer, for that matter - does not feel natural at all and acquires an almost plastic-like, 'chemical' quality in the end. I have encountered strongish lagers disguising as dubbels (see the current Leffe Brune), tripels (see the current Grimbergen Tripel) and probably a few other styles, but never as an Anglo-Saxon brown ale - which this beer very clearly is not: this is your ordinary, admittedly above-average-strength generic Dunkel, basically a pimped and syrup-coloured version cast from the old industrial Carlsberg lager mold. I can imagine the unassuming Belgian consumer hesitatingly buying this at the supermarket - and discarding it as being not all too pleasant, thinking this is what English (or even American) brown ale is supposed to be. Another case of mass-marketed, cheaply made foolery, a crime these macro breweries excel at. Avoid, though admittedly Carlsberg has committed worse crimes than this. Probably the most fake brown ale in the world - but as said above, this is more likely a cheap lager of sorts than any kind of 'real' ale ('real' in the literal, so non-CAMRA sense of the word).

Good, dense, thick yellow head over clear red-copper beer. Sweetish, woody, spicy malts, chestnuts, dark green leaves aromas. Dry, bitter-spicy, woody, with a background sweetish maltbread finish. Bitterness is even a bit metallic, certainly in the aftertaste. Rather empty MF, watery, faintly slick. Low to medium carbonation Not what I expected - browns are usually oustpoken sweet-malty. But this one, however mainly bitter, is unrefined.
