Did we choose the name Elephant to honour the statues that guard our brewery gates, or because it's a beer you'll remember forever? Pale gold in colour, Elephant is rich in malty character, with a hint of caramel, balanced by a satisfyingly dry bitterness. Once enjoyed, never forgotten!

Last unrated brew at crappy place I happen to be. Normal gold macro pour. Nose is alcohol and corn. Tastes corny of cardboard and alcohol and sweet malt. Pretty crappy.

50-cl-Dose aus einem Edeka-Markt in Berlin. Auf der Dose: „Nach deutschem Reinheitsgebot in Deutschland gebraut“; 7,5 %. - Orangegold, klar; schöne Schaumkrone. - In der Nase blasse aber nicht unangenehme Malzsüße und Alkohol. - Antrunk rund malzsüß mit Anklängen an Honig, abgerundet mit ganz zarten fruchtig-säuerlichen Noten. Im weiteren Verlauf setzt eine störende dumpf-künstliche Note ein, die zum Ende hin in fiese Hopfenextraktbittere übergeht. Mild rezent, vollmundig. Trockener, schroff bitterer Abgang mit Noten von Gummi. Extrem langer, fies bitterer Nachtrunk, der kaum an Hopfen erinnert. - Brutal simples Starkbier, wohl eher für Wirkungstrinker als für Genießer gedacht.

Golden, white head. Aroma is of sugar, some fruit and caramel, smells artificial. Quite sweet, grains, sugar, caramel, syrup, some grassy herbal hops, low to medium bitter. Strong alcohol but not as much as expected. Moderate body and carbonation. No, just... no.

Memory banks rate, from when this was common place in UK supermarkets. Pours clear golden with no head. Fizzy. Aromas of malt, booze. Taste is caramel, booze, herbal astringent finish.

The descendant of a Scandinavian-style Bock beer Carlsberg already made decades ago, but in its current form, this is just another Euro strong lager aimed at alcoholics. Tasted it fifteen or so years ago when it was still 8% ABV, so this rating is from very old notes. Stable, snow white head over a clear, golden blonde beer; grainy, some malt sweetness, sugary and somewhat cloying sweetness too, a hint of chemical acidity and lots of booze in the finish (as in the nose), with a hint of grassy hops. Never liked this style; this is not the very worst example of it, but far from the best either.

Botella de 33 cl de el c. Ingles. Tomada en julio de 2004 (con fecha de cons pref y lote ilegibles). Sin mucho que resaltar buena la sensación alcohólica de sus 7.9vol, ligeros sabores maltosos y algo de dulzor. Normal.

Continuing my abuse for tonight, I’m signing into this one.
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener.
The appearance was a hazy glossy yellow color with a clear enough transparency letting light carbonation to be seen rising. The head was there but dissipated within less than twenty seconds. Don’t ask me about lacing, there wasn’t any.
The smell was skunky oily grass.
The taste wasn’t any better. Was there anything?
On the palate, there’s a whole lot of harshness pummeling my tongue into submission with a long slick feel just flowing over my tongue.
Overall, pale lager, Euro Strong Lager, Imperial Lager, whatever one wants to call this, I probably wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. Let Satan have this back for I would never storm the gates of beer hell for this one. Give me a cider from Inbev first.
