Ahh the local southern Tasmanian beer of choice. A fruity old beer, with a classic amber appearance. Pours a nice minimal head off tap that lingers until the last swig. Smells..well fruity to say the least, rolls over the tongue with ease, a nice, smart blend of flavour and just a bit of bitterness that reminds you what you're drinking. Too be honest, as this beer is the staple drink of any local of course i will drink it, but i prefer a less fruity beer such as Cascade Pale Ale if i'm going to be fussy. Definitely worth it.

So I went to the local bottle shop yesterday with plans of purchasing a cheap cask of white wine when this beer caught my eye. Instead of purchasing my regular 6-pack of Cascade Draught stubbies, I decided to spend AUD$4.00 extra and try these Carlsberg "Elephant Beer". I've tried many beers and I'm particularly fond of heavier black ales such as Kilkenny but decided to try a "green bottled" beer as it was on special. Upon arriving back at my mates house and cracking my first I decided that I'd made a mistake. At this point I was drinking from the bottle and found it rather offensive to my tastes, although I did appreciate the high alcohol content and attributed some of the bitter taste towards this. At this point in the review I've decided that I'm rambling on a bit too much and I've got other things to do so I will hasten. This beer is very smooth in the mouth and goes down the throat in a fairly straightforward manner, although there's a definite hint of that alcohol warmth you would expect from a wine or perhaps a weak spirit. The flavour of this beer is nothing short of pitiful. As it first enters your mouth there is a rather appealing perhaps ... fruity taste which then transcends into tastely standard lager flavours. This beer does have a strange, yet unoffending aftertaste...which is highly reminiscent of the hay like aroma that it gives off at first sniff. Overall I would drink this beer no problems but prefer a dark malty ale any day.
