Amber beer with a medium head. Malt and caramel aroma. Relatively sweet caramel flavour, too one-dimensional to compete with a british or a micro-brewed ale. Two thumbs down for Carlsberg’s attempt to catch up with trends.

Can. Pours a nice amber body with a small, dense off-white head. Caramel and fruityness in the aroma, with some cooked vegetables and piney hints. Effervescent, medium full body with caramel and fruityness and a piney bitterness towards the finish. Medium length finish. My impression from the last time I rated it is confirmed. It’s a straight forward simple amber ale with little off-flavors.Rating: 4-4-4-3-9-2.4. (080828)
Bottled. Clear, reddish brown, with a nice beige head. Malt, grain, brown bread and some hops in the aroma. Quite weak. The flavor is weak too, with a little more bitterness in the aroma, else it is the same. Medium body. Pleasant hop-level in the finish. Carlsberg states that they have added co2, which I don’t consider wrong to do, but maybe they shouldn’t have added this much. (061007)

Tap. White virtually no head. Mostly deminishing. Nice caramellic aroma and flavor. Redbrown colour. Watery palate, but this is a nice beer.

An orange beer with a dense light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of brewmash, as well as caramel and nuts. The flavor is sweet - so sweet, that the mouthfeel is somewhat sticky, and with notes of nuts, oranges, and a weird hop note, that I’m not that fond of. Besides being sticky the mouthfeel is also very sparkling due to a high level of carbonation.

Draught. Small head with short duration. Color is dark amber. Not a very distinctive aroma, but its mainly roast malt. Taste is sweet and decently balanced.

New product from Carlsberg: Brown with little white head. Fruityness and caramel malts dominates here (if anything). The texture is quite thin. medium carbonated. all around allround. The finish is almost not appearing!
