Carlsberg Classic

Name: Carlsberg Classic
Manufacturer: Carlsberg
Country: Denmark
Media: Tap
Type: Lager

Appearance: small white head, mostly diminishing lacing, clear body, amber hue

Aroma: light hoppy, but almost no aroma

Flavor: light sweet initial flavor, swee and light bitter flavor, with short duration

Palate: medium body, oily/watery texture, fizzy carbonation

Overall: One of the best of Carlsberg's standard beers, with a beautiful colour and lively carbonation. Perfect for a hot summer's day, but a bit uninteresting in flavor when compared to many of Denmark's micro-brewery beers.

Aroma: moderate malty and very hoppy, with hints of caramel, citrus and brown sugar

Flavor: slightly sweet initial flavor, which then hits you with a heavy bitter, long duration

Overall: Not really a lager, no matter what the brewer says.... More a very bitter ale, but a good one.
