Beer #58 - Carlsberg

Carlsberg Pale Lager
www.carlsberg.com

Carlsberg Brewery was founded in 1847 in Copenhagen, Denmark and begand brewing the flagship Carlsberg Lager.  Carlsberg has acquired many other breweries over the years, I've touched on some of them in the past, making them the 4th largest brewery group in the world.

It has a nice clear golden straw colour with a bright white foamy head with great retention.

It smells of both the floral and bitter notes of the hops and malt.

The malt comes strong at the forefront of the taste, with the bitter notes of the hops, as the taste goes on, the maltiness gets overtaken by the floral notes of the hops which fade away just leaving a crisp and pleasant lingering of the bitterness on the tongue.

A ncie crisp pale lager, with a slightly different flavour profile than most.  Certainly worth a try if you haven't had it and great on a warm day with some friends.
