Tuborg Lagers came onto the scene in 1880, yet the Tuborg brewery was founded in 1873 in the small port town of Hellerup, just north of Coppenhagen, Denmark. In 1894 Tuborg merged with United Breweries, which then entered into a profit sharing agreement with Carlsberg before being acquired by Carlsberg in 1970. This particular beer is a pale lager which is brewed at 5.5% ABV in Canada where I bought it, however apparently it's only 3.5% in the United States, which even with converting between the ABV and ABW methods would put it at only about 4.2%ABV in the US.
It has a very clear golden colour with a nice big white head which dissipates fairly quickly leaving a hint of lace on the side of the glass.
It smells very fragrant of the floral notes of the hops with a hint of citrus and malt.
The hops are very apparant the whole way through the taste, it starts with the floral notes then the bitterness comes into play, gradually incorporating the malt taste which fades away leaving just the bitterness of the hops which gets joined by a hint of citrus on the finish.
This is quite a complex and flavourful light lager, suitable for drinking at any occaision with or without food. It's lightness belies it's 5.5% ABV strength.
